Fruits: bananas, apples, orange slices Carbs: muffins, crackers + cheese, crackers + jam, pretzels Not so great: oatmeal cookies, ice cream, chocolate chips I usually provide extra snacks when they are serving something on the "do not give DD" list.

Usually one of the snacks is fruit/veggie based and the other is dairy or whole grain based. Our daycare has a chef, so they make the snacks. Even if its carb based its minimally processed and not full of preservatives.

I always include fruit/cheese in my group snacks, and I hope other parents do the same, but I don't have any control over what they bring. regberadaisy on "Does your daycare provide fruit at snack time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycare-provide-fruit-at-snack-time#post-1094585 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 10:34:24 +0000 regberadaisy 1094585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yup, it's a mix of fruit, prepackaged snacks and carbs. autumnlove on "Does your daycare provide fruit at snack time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycare-provide-fruit-at-snack-time#post-1094582 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 10:32:14 +0000 autumnlove 1094582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, lots of fruit, carrots, cheese and carby stuff. mediagirl on "Does your daycare provide fruit at snack time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycare-provide-fruit-at-snack-time#post-1094577 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 10:30:50 +0000 mediagirl 1094577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Ours does not. Snacks are normally some carb item like nutrigrain bars, goldfish crackers or cheese and crackers. In looking around in our area, I'm finding some of the more pricier daycares do provide fruit with at least first snack, if not second (lunch always includes it). I send her lunch and snacks so it doesn't really matter to me here but, I'm curious what other daycare centers provide food-wise.
