Well I think you've gotten great advice here. I agree with most posters. I don't offer breakfast either. I offer a good hearty snack that sometimes IS an actual breakfast and it's early enough too. I feel the same way. The child should arrive ready for the day.

I had a parent ask me if they could start sending breakfast in the am and I refused. They weren't happy about it tho. But I really was not ready to make this kind of agreement. The child was coming in late often and I felt it was going to be too disruptive especially that we were having a snack shortly after he would finish eating breakfast. These were great people but they had such a difficult time just setting certain limits with their child it felt like they were putting some of there responsibilities on to me. I also did not like the fact that they were getting a "special" favor that other parents did not have.
