Everyone else seems happy that it isn't processed foods and all home cooked. I reduced the frequency in which I take the kids out in my minivan to cut costs recently too. I would love to eliminate my van altogether as it would save me a lot, but I need to be able to be their for my own kids in an emergency should the need arise and I would not be able to do that if I didn't have a vehicle to cart all the daycare kids in. Also in the summer months while school is out I wouldn't be able to taxi my kids to their day camps so I just don't take the kids out anywhere unless absolutely necessary or if it isn't within walking distance with the stroller.

Would anyone suggest I even bring up the change in food with any daycare parents?? I feel deceitful to be honest seeing as that is one of my big selling points for daycare regardless of whether or not that one thing was why they chose me or whether it was the overall package I offer. That being said I'd hate to piss anyone off for signing up offering organic and then no longer offering it.

Thoughts??
I would tell them.
