Providing lunches

[AmandaKDT]

Some carer here don't include food or milk. But it's no allways good idea. Some Moms bring microwave meals and that take lots of time to do when all different. Some Moms forget or do not bring enough and the child is hungry and the day home has to use their own stuff. Some moms are good at it but some are not - stinky sandwich from corner store and mouldy food can come if lazy parent.

Most days the kids here need their food microwaved, no big deal - just takes a few minutes to warm everything up. I form a little line of dishes and my daughter helps me microwave the lunches everyday.

All the other things can get handled with good communication with the parents. If a child doesn't have enough then I inform them face to face and they make sure they send more. If the food is old and no good, I call the parent and get them to bring new food (actually had this happen once). I hold the parents accountable and responsible and it is always taken care of.
