Questions to Ask About Day Care Meals
- Is my caregiver knowledgeable about my baby's food
requirements and feeding schedule?
- Are snacks and meals tasty, attractive, and well
balanced?
- Are menus varied and posted for my review?
- Are special diets and ethnic preferences given
consideration?
- Is food served in a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere?
- Does the center serve food I want my child to eat?
- Are healthy snacks served mid-morning and mid-afternoon?
- Are children allowed to leave food on their plates?
(They should never be forced to eat.)
- Are portions small and second helpings available?
- Who plans the menus (dietician or other staff)?
- Is the kitchen clean?
