My suggestion to the OP is, since the center is enforcing these new rules, get up 10 minutes early so that you have time to feed your child before preschool.
I so agree with this! I'm regulated by the food program, but that never keeps me from providing a breakfast to a hungry dck and it does not matter if meal time is over, I will make sure that the child is fed! It is not the child's fault and I will always make sure their welfare comes first.
