[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lack of communication seems to be a theme!  That's my complaint too.  About our in-home daycare (that she runs like a business, which I like, but sometimes she skips the more personal updates) and our bigger 100+ kid preschool.

Yes, the USDA "food chart" means that ritz crackers count as "whole grain carbs" and american cheese counts as dairy.  That's possibly the most nutritionally devoid snack I can think of, yet it persists anywhere that provides it's own food and ticks the bureaucratic boxes of "healthy" somehow.  [b]My in-home daycare provider said she can't offer watered down juice (ex: if a kid is a bit sick and needs more fluids) because is only allowed to offer things that are 100% juice, milk or water.  It's ridiculously stupid.  Apple juice cut with water is MUCH better than straight liquid sugar apple juice.[/b]

TBH PP, this would make me wonder what other things this grown adult has misinterpreted out of ignorance. Not that it's a "safety" issue necessarily...but people who make statements like this always strike me as very authoritative in their own incompetence.[/quote]

There have been a couple of things our daycare has claimed are required by regulations.  I looked at the regulations and found nothing remotely requiring it.  I'm not sure whether it is simply misunderstanding the regulations or finding it easier to defend a policy by blaming it on the regs.  None of them have been particularly big deals so it hasn't been worth pushing further.[/quote]
