Esperanza policies: Breakfast, lunch and snacks
We encourage you to bring healthy foods your child can enjoy throughout
the day. (By avoiding high-sugar treats and desserts, we've found
that children are happier and more focused.) |
|
Breakfast |
Between 6:30 and 7:45 a.m. you may bring a dry breakfast for
our child, i.e. toast, bagel with cream cheese, poptart, yogurt, fruit, etc. After 7:30
a.m., we ask that you refrain from sending breakfast foods. Please, pancakes with syrup
and cereal with milk are not allowable. |
|
Lunch |
Lunch is at 11:00 a.m. for Toddler House, and 11:30 a.m. for Main House. Please send
lunches in a lunchkit (no paper bags, except for field trips that specify it, please),
that is clearly labeled with your child’s name. Also, please
label all containers and eating utensils.
We cannot heat or refrigerate food.
Consider using wide mouth thermoses for this purpose.
Weather permitting, we eat lunch outside so messy
foods are not a problem. Health regulations so not allow us to send
uneaten portions home. No glass containers, please. |
|
Snacks |
At 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., the children will have a snack.
Please provide two snacks with your child’s lunch. These can be fruit, veggies,
crackers, pretzels, etc. |

We invite you to read about other
Esperanza policies that have helped our programs succeed. |
