bright sparks - first of all I want to say I think it is great you feed your family and daycare kids all organic. I just wouldn't be doing it if it was costing me a pile of money.

The thing is those of us that don't aren't bad providers or bad people..

Of course you are not bad ppl but as a childcare providers it is our job to provide adequate nutrition. I find it frustrating because there is SO much info nowadays and so many recipes you can find online that there are just no excuses. As childcare providers we are held ( or should be) to a higher standard because we are SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING and serving healthy food just seems so basic to me as far as childcare goes...no matter what the parents are doing at home because I'm not sure why this is ever an acceptable excuse for anything anyways. I'm frustrated because too many times I've had interviews with parents who have nightmare stories of providers who serve a lot of junk and you can tell these parents are weary of choosing home daycare for this reason so it does affect all of us in the end by giving home daycares a bad name. We all know how easily the public can lump us together. Phew vent over
