I have it in my policy book that children must arrive dressed, having eaten breakfast with clean hands and face and ready to begin the day......... however I offer to serve a parent supplied breakfast to any child that arrives prior to 730. So all the children that are eating breakfast here arrive early and are all done and already playing by the time the non breakfast eating children arrive so there is no conflict. If you don't want to serve breakfast then tell the parent that you do t allow outside food as this causes sharing issues with the other children and therefore you need them to be fed prior to arriving. Although this may result in the child being giving a cold pop tart to eat in the car on the way over. As far as it being to much work for dad ?!?!?!? Well to bad ... It's all part of being a parent .... What do the rest if the families do .... Was this not something that was discussed during the interview? Strange that she would just assume you would feed her kids breakfast!
