Hello all! I'm new to the forum and to the daycare world. I'm in Maryland and I just received word that I have passed all inspections and that my license is I'm the mail.
I'm thinking of using Minute Menu on my iPad/iPhone to track attendance and all but I was also thinking of using a spreadsheet to pre-plan my menu for the week/month. What are your thoughts on using both of these methods simultaneously? Will this assist with keeping me organized and keeping accurate records?
Also, if there is anyone here from Maryland and can offer any info on the food program here that would be extremely awesome and helpful.
Thanks!

Welcome!
Minute menu also has menu planning included so you may want to experiment with the options it offers. It may be easier for you to use minute menus exclusively...
