Each child takes a bottle of water outside with them and I be sure they drink it. Heat stroke happens here a LOT.
We do that in the summer also. I bring a pitcher of ice water and each child has a cup, and they drink drink drink the entire time.

With the number & ages of kids I have. I would worry about cups sitting out all day. I know some of my toddlers would drop theirs on the floor, and then it would be picked up by someone else. Plus, we don't take a bite or a sip, outside of the eating area (other than bottles, of course), so I wouldn't want cups in the play area.

Not saying anything about other providers who have cups out. Just that I think with my kids, and their ages, it wouldn't be feasible.
