[quote=Anonymous]To OP (if you're still reading after all of the crazy posts), you should talk to the director of the preschool/teachers IN PERSON and follow-up with a detailed email summarizing the dos and don'ts.  Not a long email, but a simple dos and don'ts that can be posted in the classroom.  Remember, preschools have subs, and you want to make sure that EVERYONE knows before there is an issue.  If the preschool serves snack, then always pack your own snack.  In our experience, it was easier to just pack snack and explain to our kids that they only ate what we provided instead of putting the teacher in the position of evaluating what our kids can eat.  And we always keep treats in the school freezer for our kids in the event that there is a bday or other special celebration.

While I don't think that your child is old enough to understand what she can/cannot eat, she can understand that she is never allowed to eat food other than what you pack.  Both of our children have severe food allergies, and they know not to eat any food that isn't in their own lunch boxes.  And they have been able to do so since they were two.  It is harder for our younger child to understand exactly what he is allergic too (he keeps saying "peanuts" but it really is a laundry list of food), but he does understand that he isn't allowed to share food or eat school-provided snack.
