Case in point. Control issues. Thanks for controlling my ability to express my disagreement.
Fair point but OP has done no controlling here. She has
1. sent lunch with her child
2. asked DCUM if she should say anything regarding teacher preventing her kid from eating her lunch
On the other hand
Preschool teacher stopped child from eating cooking after eating their sandwich (Ops child had in fact eaten the sandwich first so we are not talking about preventing a desert first situation) saying they must eat healthy food before eating cookie. . And maintained this stance in the face of an upset child. Responded to other parents concerns about similar behavior with their children with and email about „classroom“ policy.
Teacher is the one exerting control here.
One of the primary requirements of a teacher is control of their classroom.
Micromanaging a child’s lunch is definitely not a requirement though.
How many classrooms full of 4 year olds have you managed ever?
Several, and I’ve never told or seen a child told not to eat something. I’ve told them to eat or asked them why they’re not eating, never have I told them don’t eat that if it’s something a parent sent and during lunch time.

You make decisions for your daughter, not the teacher. I would let her know it's unacceptable and you'll get the school involved if there's a next time.

I take my teachings from ECE who’ve managed many classrooms and schools. According to them, telling a child she must finish „healthy“ foods before eating dessert is not good childhood feeding practice. It can have a number of negative effects including teaching children to ignore their hunger signals, treaching kids that healthy food is less desirable and dessert food is more desirable.
I trust their professional judgement. There are no classroom management issues here.
Oh you’re the person who googles stuff and thinks that means they know things. I bet you tell the doctor what your Dx is and what meds to prescribe as well. Let this woman do her very hard, very important, poorly paid and thankless job in peace.

I've posted way too often on this thread. My kid is not at all a picky eater. She's even less picky than me about some things.
