If the kids don't finish eating breakfast, which they usually don't, we send it to school and they eat it there at 9am when all the other kids are having a snack. They have lunch at 12 and a snack at 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-snack-and-lunch-schedules#post-870223 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 10:32:25 +0000 skibobrown 870223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is<br /> 9 AM Snack<br /> 11-ish Lunch<br /> 2 PM afternoon snack<br /> Breakfast is served before we ever drop DD off, so it must be early... my guess is maybe 7 AM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-snack-and-lunch-schedules#post-870207 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 10:27:51 +0000 pelikila 870207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We split breakfast in half and C gets half at home (5:45am) and half at daycare (6:45am) because otherwise he would get two breakfasts (other kids eat breakfast at daycare that is brought from home and C would throw a fit if he couldn't "join" so they were giving him a second breakfast). Morning snack is ~9am and lunch is at noon. Afternoon snack is usually around 3:30pm and we serve dinner around 5:30 or 6pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-snack-and-lunch-schedules#post-870151 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 10:09:55 +0000 irene 870151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>in the 12-18 month room, I get LO up at 7am, breakfast at 715am, and he's done at 730am (we do hard boil egg, fruit and pre-made frozen pancakes or toast). We head out and will be at school at around 745am. He will have his first morning snack at 8:30am. </p> <p>His schedule at school as follows:<br /> 8:30am snack<br /> 11:15am lunch<br /> 12:00pm-3pm nap<br /> 3:45pm snack</p> <p>Then we pick up at around 4:30pm and dinner at 5:15pm.</p> <p>ETA: some of LO's schoolmates I think their parents ask them if they can give them some cheerios at school. They were earlier than us, and they are munching cheerios when we got there. So maybe that's an option you can work out with your school? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-snack-and-lunch-schedules#post-869853 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:36:04 +0000 littlek 869853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I love that they all eat at a big table! They look like a little family! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-snack-and-lunch-schedules#post-869848 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:35:05 +0000 Adira 869848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Yeah, definitely ask! I bet they won't mind! Ours has a big table for everyone to eat together too and I know they have snacks and lunch together, but I've seen a couple kids who are there early have breakfast that their parents provided. I hope it works out for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-snack-and-lunch-schedules#post-869825 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:29:36 +0000 regberadaisy 869825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: that's what they do in her room now; everyone eats together at a big table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-snack-and-lunch-schedules#post-869823 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:29:24 +0000 mediagirl 869823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I might ask if she can eat breakfast when she gets there since she does get there so early and is there way before the other kids. There might be one other kid there at 7 but I'm sure that wouldn't be a deal breaker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-snack-and-lunch-schedules#post-869817 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:28:11 +0000 mediagirl 869817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: breakfast is that morning snack. In the infant room, they fed on your schedule so she could eat at 8. In this new room, all the kids eat together at a big table, at the same time (9) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-snack-and-lunch-schedules#post-869812 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:27:03 +0000 brownie 869812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 am breakfast<br /> 11:00 am lunch<br /> 11:30-1:30 nap<br /> 2:00 pm snack</p> <p>And he is starving at 4:30 when I pick him up so we have a snack in the car and eat dinner around 6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-snack-and-lunch-schedules#post-869770 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:17:27 +0000 looch 869770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our schedule:</p> <p>6 am wakeup, 10 ounces milk<br /> 6:30, arrive at my parents house, usually has an applesauce pouch, sometimes a graham cracker<br /> 7:45, arrive at day care, has cheerios with milk or mini bagel with cream cheese<br /> 9:00 snack, usually a yogurt<br /> 11:30, lunch pastina with cheese or chicken nuggets with ketchup<br /> 3:00, afternoon snack after nap, fruit, peanut butter, crackers<br /> 5:30 dinner </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-snack-and-lunch-schedules#post-869740 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:11:07 +0000 Adira 869740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you worried about it being a long stretch of time between when she eats breakfast and has the first snack at 9:00? Would it be possible for you to bring her breakfast to daycare and let her eat it there?</p> <p>Xander is only 3.5 months, so I haven't had to deal with this yet, but when my friend drops off her LO at daycare (her LO is 14 months), she brings her breakfast with her and her LO eats breakfast at daycare. I'm wondering if this might be an option that works for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-snack-and-lunch-schedules#post-869739 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:10:56 +0000 littlek 869739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the same schedule as @T.H.O.U.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daycare-snack-and-lunch-schedules#post-869738 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:10:44 +0000 winniebee 869738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He wakes up by 6 and has a bottle and often a mini breakfast (cheese, banana) before we leave the house.

We leave our house at 6:40 so she would have to eat breakfast at 6:20 or so to get it in before we leave. I'm trying to figure out our schedule and am wondering what other daycare schedules look like! </p>
