I think I'd rather hear/see that my children weren't eating all their lunch so that I could adjust their lunch portions and then know that they were getting a fresh snack from their DCP after school (especially if it's part of the daycare cost). Just curious.
My first thoughts were 'ewwww' there is no way an ice pack can keep food at safe temps that long. But, then I realized the odds are the kids are eating half eaten granola bars and other packaged foods that could be eaten weeks after being opened.
