[quote=Anonymous]My younger DD is allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, egg, and peas.  Most of the daycares we looked into were already peanut and tree nut free.  Egg is a bit tricky because, similar to sesame, people aren’t as aware of what all may contain egg.  She’s also contact-reactive, which is hard at her age (2.5yo).  Our daycare provides snacks and lunch, and all items served to her are pre-approved by us.  They seat her at the same table as her classmates but with a bit of spacing so there’s no risk of “sharing” food with friends.  They also ensure that all children wash hands immediately after eating to try to help prevent contact reactions.
My only real concern is when parents bring in treats for birthdays and holidays.  So far, we have managed it well by providing a small stash of safe treats for her there at daycare that they can pull from when surprise cookies and cupcakes show up.  The lead teacher in the room also has an older daughter with severe food allergies and I feel comfortable with her knowledge of mitigating risks.[/quote]
