If your preschool/daycare provides lunch...

[Anonymous]

What kind of lunches are they getting right now? Our preschool let go of its chef (we previously had hot, shared meals) and started catering because of Covid, but they only do boxed/bagged lunch and the variety is lacking. Curious if you all know what your kids are getting for lunch.

This is ours:

Bambini Toddler/Preschooler Menu

That looks close to what our pre-Covid menu was like. Our school is restarting lunch in the new year. They've been serving breakfast, which was previously hot meals like oatmeal and egg patties, but since reopening have been yogurt, cheerios, or breakfast bars. We've been sending lunch from home, and I can't say that my meal plans are anymore creative (ie lots of bagels, breakfast bars, and chicken nuggets because she won't eat lunchmeat)

Our daycare provides meals catered by Good Foods. Lunch is hot and variety is decent (e.g., different preparations of pastas, meats, stews, etc.). I think the servings are individualized now but for the most part the food is the same.

Just mediocre stuff. No changes due to covid, likeindividual packaged stuff. But it’s been safe so far.

OP here - yes the Bambini menu looks like our pre-Covid menu, too. Now our breakfasts are the same (but no hot food except toasted bread, I think) but our lunches are literally a sandwich every day. Which means we can't have sandwiches/chicken patties/nuggets for dinner ever, haha.

Ours uses Good Foods, which I have been impressed with.

Same here. They seem pretty well thought out meals and my kid has become more open minded toward different foods. That may just be a function of age/being around other kids though.

Our center used to have Good Foods and I liked it too. Now they are only providing a snack and we need to send lunch. It's been fine and grateful to have childcare but I do wonder if/when they will resume providing meals! Tired of hearing how the other kids are sent with candy/cookies every day.

Having worked at a daycare that served Good Foods, Good Foods will only accept orders with a minimum number of request. What that minimum number is, I do not remember, but if your child care is not at full capacity, then they would need to stop Good Food services

Ah well that makes sense then because no, the center is not at full capacity right now. Maybe half or a bit higher.
