Snack is about an hour before they get picked up. I try to serve healthy meals. Its not like they're gorging themselves on junk. A few examples from this week are fresh veggies with peanut butter & applesauce, fruit, cheese stick, & veggies with ranch, frozen banana rolled in yogurt & crushed granola & whole wheat toast. All are served with milk. Would you accomodate requests for more?
No seconds on snack. Its suppose to be a snack to tide them over til dinner not fill them up. If it did, they'd be too full for dinner.
