I don’t work with children but they select healthy food and snacks, avoiding common unhealthy ingredients, and avoiding common allergy developer ingredients. Healthy nutritional guideness are followed as well as save packaging.

Self serving promotes independence as well as good habits. It also give children the chance to choose and be aware of their diet.
– Covid has made impossible to self serve, now everything comes in individual packages and students are given bags with the same menu for each children.

There is a list of foods that are not allowed in school.
Parents can send lunch

I have not work with children but I have my siblings as an example. They dont like healthy foods (fruit and vegetables) or they dont eat enough.

The first step is to wash the childrens hands. Once everyone has washed their hands, they sit down and wait for food to be served. The server puts on gloves and prepares the food into the plates which are then passed down to the children. There are different guidelines to different facilities on how much food, fruit, vegetables and other servings are proportioned.

Yes, I have, it is really nice because it makes children feel independent and trustworthy. Usually, the system works if it is constant and it is done every day the same way, but when routines change to do self-serving in the family-style meals, it is as organized. I personally enjoy when the school does family-style meals in the classroom, it is fun for the children and they become and have a sense of independence. There is defiantly less yelling in the classroom as well.

In my facility, if a child is allergic to a product, that product is not served and is also not allowed near and or in the facility whatsoever
4) What food challenges have you experienced with preschoolers or toddlers?
There is not as many challenges but there is a lot of food and drinks such as milk, always splattered in the table and or in the ground. It is difficult to keep a clean table when there is eating, but that is okay, it is the point of the process.
