When I did work at the daycare, and it still bugs me to no end, they served pretty unhealthy food to the kids.

We had a 4 week rotation. But generally we served

Breakfast:

Cereal ( fruit loops and honey nut Cheerios) on Mondays and Fridays.
Grits and toast on Tuesday
Poptarts on Wednesday( and whenever they didn't go grocery shopping)
Eggs And toast on Thursday.

Lunch:

This varies, but a lot of the time it was rice+ a type of bean, or meat, canned veggies, and canned fruit.
Beanie weenies from a can.
Cheapest chicken nuggets possible
Pizza
Sandwiches with chips

Snacks:

2crackers. (Ritz and saltines)
Cheezits
Animal crackers
Cookies
Ice cream

All of the lunches were really salty, too. They refused to get on a food program at the center because then they would have to serve different food.

I just always felt bad for the kids eating it becauae I know I wouldn't eat it everyday.

And although they promoted themselves as a secular daycare, they FORCED the children ( even the one year olds) to say a religious prayer before eating or they would take the food away until they said it. And call the parents if they didn't.

Ugh. Just another reason I quit.
