Also want to add that what I do is cook the meal for my family and make extra the night before and then serve it for lunch for the daycare the next day so all I need to do is reheat it. I always serve something quick while I am heating and serving it, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. That keeps them busy and allows me time to get the food into bowls/plates and on the table. I plan my meals a week in advance and send out the menu to the parents every Sunday. I include snacks on the menu, but do tell parents that teh snacks can change due to ripeness of fruit, etc.
