Parents requests child to get more food.

[MsBell]

I did not realize that kindergarten was not everywhere! I learn something everyday

I would do both, tell her that the rate is too low and give her fair notice that the rate will be going up. If she does not want to pay a fair rate, let her go elsewhere. I would also say that , two snacks and lunch (and if you include breakfast) is what you will provide, anything above that, she will need to provide. However that said, if it were me, I would simply give her notice. I think that having a kid eat all day long is way too much extra work, there would be struggles with trying to make the other kids understand, next thing you know you will have the whole group eating extra snacks, that would be constant cleaning, dishes, hands and faces, the floor etc. Just sounds like a nightmare to me

Although I do agree with only offering healthy protien rich snacks, good luck , I have tried hummus, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, beans, veg stix etc here, and the dck I have just turn their noses up. I offer a healthy balanced menu here, most parents want that, however I learn that most of the kids I have had, eat a lot of crap at home (lunchables, processed foods and Happy Meals) more then anything, I waste a lot of food here, but I dont care, I provide it, if they dont eat it, too bad, they can eat crap at their home, not mine.
