A Child's Place maintains written policies that guide our approach to major issues and provide a common understanding of many practical and safety related issues. Our policies reflect current state and federal regulations as well as best practices in early childhood educaiton. We suggest that all parents become familiar with our policies and we encourage you to contact your child's head teacher or the Executive Director if you have any questions. Our programs and policies reflect the contributions of all involved and are updated regularly to reflect parent feedback as well as changes in state and federal regulations and best professional practices.

LUNCH AND SNACKS


Food and Other Alergies

WE MUST BE INFORMED IF YOU CHILD IS ALLERGIC TO ANY FOOD OR OTHER SUBSTANCE. ALL CLASSROOMS WILL ADJUST THEIR FOOD CHOICES TO ANY AND ALL CHILDREN’S FOOD ALLERGY NEEDS.


Food Choices

It is our policy to allow children to choose from any food that has been provided for them by you. We will frequently through the school year teach children about good nutritional habits. We will not police their eating choices or habits during lunch or snack times. Parents are requested to provide a healthy lunch and include an ice pack to keep the food fresh (except in the First Steps classrooms which are equipped with refrigerators).


Cold Packs and Labeling

Cold packs must be included in all lunch boxes except in the First Steps Programs. Lunch boxes must be labeled with the child’s names.
