[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So they dont provide milk to the kids I assume? Many daycares are required to provide milk and I would think theyd have to provide a replacement.

Im actually a parent to a kid with a dairy allergy and Im pissed when schools decide to remove an entire food group because of allergies. Peanut butter and other nut butters are some of our only sources of transportable fats because my kid cant have avocado OR dairy. I dont expect others to remove dairy from their kids intake because dairy is a big source of protein and fat for lots of kids. Kids are at school for 2 snacks and lunch, so a huge component of their diet. What one kid is allergic to does not trump another kids dietary needs.

Now imagine you have kids who cant have nuts and one cant have dairy and one cant have coconut...

It doesnt even make sense because a kid can come in with goldfish or cheeze-it hands from the car. The BIGGEST issue is sharing of food and the kids should be watched like hawks when eating anyways due to choking.

My kid wont take most food from people- other than mom and dad and unless he recognizes it- because weve taught him that he cant eat food with dairy and that most people arent educated enough to understand what food he can eat. My favorite when I was breastfeeding and couldnt eat dairy is when people asked if they needed to exclude eggs too....ummm no Sharon I cant eat products from a COW, which is not to be confused with eggs, which come from a CHICKEN. 
[/quote]no they don’t provide any food we have to send in food- it’s a half day preschool and my daughter is in the TWOS class!! She’s a picky eater! We’re not vegan for godsakes![/quote]

Half day preschool?

So, they're asking your kid to have one snack out of the entire day that doesn't have dairy?  Not unreasonable.

If this was daycare with multiple meals, totally different, but one snack?  [/quote]
