I tried cooking for the daycare children (I am licensed in B.C. and I have 7 children per day) when I first started over 15 years ago. I found out quickly how picky eaters they can be and changed back to parents bringing the food. It took me too long to cook different meals for everyone. I have had a parent that sent a lot of junk food and I discussed the issue with her and even gave her a copy of the Canada Food Guide. I also gave her a list of suggested lunches and snacks. Some parents just don't understand and need some guidance. If I had a problem after our discussion I would have suggested I make her child lunch and snacks and that she could pay me and extra $5.00 per day. Parents typically know what their child needs and likes for meals and they can tell how much they eat by what is sent back. This way they can make dinner accordingly and send extra or less food the next day.
