Our 2 year old started daycare a few weeks ago. We went to see about 10 different daycares and this one seemed the best overall. One of the things we liked about this daycare was tha
they seemed pretty conscious about healthy diet. Their hot meal program has vegetable soups and grilled chicken instead of pizza and chicken nuggets. However, what she's getting for her snacks are something we'd never give her at home: Oreos, goldfish crackers, chocolate milk, etc…
We've been packing her own lunch and snacks now, but I don't think she cannot not want or eat Oreos when everyone else is eating it, so teacher gives some to her. I don't even mind it if school discontinues providing snacks at all if Oreo is what she's getting, or pay a little more for fresh fruits and whole wheat crackers, but I don't think other parents would agree.
What is the best way to suggest to the school that we'd like her to have healthier snacks without offending them? I appreciate your insight.
