Our parent's provide snack on a rotating weekly basis. We will hand out a monthly calendar so you know when it is your turn. We will provide napkins and cups. When it is your turn to provide snack we ask that you provide enough snack for all the children in the class for each day of preschool that week.
Nebraska state regulations require us to offer at least one food group for snack. Because of this, in the past we have asked the parents to provide 100% juice. If you provide a snack that fulfills one of the food groups, then you do not have to provide the juice, the children can have water, which will be provided here at the school.
Snacks such as sugar cookies, doughnuts, Oreos, hostess cupcakes, fruit snacks, etc., do not fall into a food group. We have listed several options for you to look over. Please look at the label to make sure the snack is NOT processed with peanuts or tree nuts. Thank you so much for helping provide snack and for your cooperation.
