None of my kids are interested in trying it & I care for aother child who has a peanut allergy although I have never said I am a "peanut-free" home. You do have to be careful but possibly what you could do is let the parents know (if you accept the child) that THEY are responsible for providing the snacks for their child that way you will not be responsible for seeking out peanut-free products.
She's 4. It was a preschool that she's been with since infancy. The preschool is Peanut-Free. They are just looking to move her b/c dad got a new job and the preschool is now way out of the way. I like the idea of having them provide the snacks.
