    Ever thought about having parents bring the childrens lunches? Wouldn't it just be easier on you as a provider? Thoughts on this?

    The parents would then expect to pay less for daycare - can't afford to work then!

    I agree with Play and Learn... I tried that and they wanted to lower the price. I had some picky eaters and was fed up with throwing away perfectly good food. I ended up just taking a vote at lunch... 2 items, they vote, winning votes win and we have the other the following day. If we have leftovers though then that is what I serve regardless. If they dont like it then they usually get a pb and j or something quick like that with parents prior consent. I find out what their ultimate fav is and if they wont eat anything then they get whatever that is. For one kid that is a pb and honey sandwich and for the other... a simple grilled cheese sandwich. Everyone is happy!
