As far as snack goes please email us if your child has any food allergies. We want to make sure your child does not come in contact with any harmful food. Of course we will not be serving any peanut products. If your child has a special diet please feel free to send an individual snack. We will be serving healthy snacks ex: fruit, vegetable tray, sandwiches, juice, water, etc..

We look forward to working with your children and thank you for signing up. Nichole and myself are very excited and welcome any suggestions, help or expression of concerns.
