Omigosh, you are working too hard! I make a quarterly newsletter stating all the important dates, all my themes and a bit about what we are doing over the next quarter. It is one page usually, sometimes two because I really believe parents only skim it. I keep a copy on my front bulletin board just in case I ever have to point to it and say I TOLD YOU ABOUT THIS!!!

I don't even have a menu anymore because none of the parents were concerned and all know that their children are well fed and cared for. One of my dcMoms has a really picky eater and this girl won't eat the same foods for supper that she ate for lunch and since she only eats a small variety of foods I send the Mom an email every afternoon listing what she has eaten, no biggie, only takes a minute.

I only give the parents a verbal update at the door at pickup if there were any problems, otherwise I just say, yes the child ate well and slept well and had a good day.
