various flavors, textures, and recipes. Infants will bring food, formula, and/or breast-milk
that has been previously provided at home with no ill effects. No new food will be given to
infants while they are in my care.

Water and crackers are available throughout the day, should a child need to eat or drink and it
is not a meal time. A microwave is available to heat food. There is a refrigerator available if needed,
but I ask that lunches be sent in a “cool pack” style lunch box with an ice pack.

Self Help Skills
During meals, children will be encouraged to serve and feed themselves as often as possible.
Children will have opportunity to help prepare food, use butter knives, drink from open cups,
and eat using spoons and forks. If your child requires special feeding practices, such as a g-tube
or bottle feeding after infancy, an individual health plan will need to be provided by their physician.

Allergies
My home is not set up as an allergy free environment. If your child has a food allergy, please get
in touch to discuss your options. I am CPR and first aid certified through the American Heart
Association, which includes training for epinephrine pens. Special diets will be supported when an
individual health plan is provided by their physician.
