I know it is frustrating but yes it is typical. My child is in a similar program. The program has to pay staff based on the expected number of children. They don't know if you or any other parent will actually bring their child but have to have staff working to cover the required adult/child ratios before hand. Snack is the same way regardless if your children attend or don't, they need to buy the food/items/drinks ahead of time based on the expected enrollment.
