[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Brownies are acceptable treats once or twice a month[/b].  100% juice is recommended by the USDA.  [/quote]

As a childcare provider myself who is on the USDA food program, the menu NEVER shows a brownie on there and hasnt.

If a child in my care has a birthday and a parent wants to bring a special treat, they can, however I make sure my kids have their USDA approved snack first, then they can have the treat. [/quote]

I am the childcare provider who wrote above comment about the brownies. I would like to know what USDA menu you are following because to my knowledge, there is only ONE menu available we are given to follow and a LOT of stuff on your menu is not on the USDA menu.  This may be one issue with parents. The time is definitely another. I tell my parents I am open 7am to 7pm, however it is only to be used by those who need it, not extended hours just because I am working that late. Some parents do not understand I have a child who may come in at 7am and leave by 4, but another may come in at 9 and need to stay until 7.  Lastly, from reading parents feelings here and on other boards and groups. They dont seem to like their kids in a car going anywhere. I realize it is personal preference, however I would never consider taking my kids as far as you do on a field trip. In the past I used to do Reston zoo, the DC zoo, museums, etc.  THE furthest I will do now is the DC Zoo, but to actually drive on the beltway to go to Reston or leesburg, not happening. Traffic has become a BIG issue these days and I personally do not want to take the risk with going that far. Again, to each his own but that may be one reason you arent getting kids. I take my kids now within a 5-7 mile radius from home and thats it.[/quote]
