| How awful. I'm so sad for that poor family. I wonder what food provider the daycare uses, how hard were the meatballs? This breaks my heart. |

| Why were meatballs served to preschoolers?! |

Was it definitely provided by the daycare? I always sent food at my daycare. We do send meatballs (vegetarian ones) with my preschooler, though we usually cut them up. |

This is so sad. Before people point fingers, we should wait to hear the details. |

| DOL daycare provides all food. |

A three year should be capable of eating a meatball. I'm wondering if maybe there was a bone in the meat? Regardless, so heartbreaking. |

Does anyone know whether DOL uses Good Food Company for their catering? |

| Oh no. That is terrible. DOL does all the food. My guess is that meatballs can be too dense and create a choking hazard. |

| I don't think the issue is necessarily the meatballs. I choke on my food every once in a while too. Kids just aren't good at choking and clearing their airways and sometimes eat too fast. Tragic! |

actually meatballs are dense and pasty and the perfect size to get caught in a windpipe. my son was in the 3 year old class there last year. this is so sad! |

Blaming the child for choking to death. What a lovely person you must be. |

I was wondering the same thing. My DD used to be at a govt. daycare, although not DOL, that used Good Food. Now she is at a center in Virginia that uses Jeffery's. Meatballs are on the menu for next Monday (for the PP who questioned giving meatballs to preschoolers). |
