I agree with you that you should inform parents of your changes , but my spin would be a newsletter with an upbeat theme ! Like due to raising costs instead of raising rates you will be keeping costs down by the following ...
I think parents understand and I think they will appreciate it !!
Very few kids are being raised on total organic foods ! I know most of mine are def not ! My homemade Mac and cheese was not appreciated in the least !! What did they want ? Yup gross kd !! My dd , who had never tasted kd until I served it here now asks , yours or the dayhome Mac and cheese ? Ugh !!
I think things change , people get that !
I like the idea of an upbeat newsletter as a way of informing people. I can't understand why you and other providers are wasting so much food. If the children are given no other option then they will eventually eat what is given and their taste buds will adapt. If after a few days of feeling defeat and giving the children crap instead, then of course things aren't going to change. Its like weaning all over again. Over my dead body will I feed any child KD. Pretty sure its not even real food
