Please adhere to the following guidelines. 1. For special occasions such as birthdays or cultural activities, perishable food brought from home to be shared with other children must be store-bought and in its original package. Baked goods may be made at home if they are fully cooked, and were made with freshly purchased ingredients. There must be enough for all children in the child's group. 2. Round firm foods that might lodge in the throat of a child less than 4 years of age are not permitted. These foods include hot dogs, whole grapes, nuts, popcorn, raw peas, chunks of raw carrots, hard pretzels, thickly spread peanut butter, meat larger than can be swolled whole, or hard candy. 3. All food brought from home must be nutritious. Please do not send glass bottles, gum, candy, soda, or "junk food" items. Snack foods such as chips, pudding, funfruits, etc. may not be brought in. These foods will remain unopened and will be sent home at the end of the day. 4. Lunch brought from home should be nutritious and well balanced. An insulated lunch container with a thermos is preferred. We also have a microwave for heating foods and a refrigerator for keeping drinks cold. 5. USDA recommends ¾ cup milk, 1 serving
of lean meat, fish or poultry or cheese or protein, 2 fruits and/or vegetables,
and ½ slice of bread or starch alternative.
