2011-2012 Snack Policy Because we want the children at our school to be the healthiest that they can be, St. Timothy’s Preschool has teamed up with the Hy Vee on Grand Avenue in West Des Moines to provide your child with a healthy, balanced snack at each class. Each day we will offer the choice of white milk or water, along with two items from different food groups. Each month your child’s class will have the opportunity to help cook and prepare the snack! A monthly snack calendar will be distributed so that you are aware of the snack each day. We will offer fresh produce as it is in season and canned produce when it is out of season. The breads will contain whole grains. We’ll provide fresh cheeses and yogurt, and will avoid foods heavy with preservatives, artificial ingredients, and high-fructose corn syrup. Our snacks will not contain peanuts or tree nuts, nor will they be snacks made on equipment or in the same facility with peanuts or tree nuts. If your child has an allergy to any other food products (dairy, eggs, wheat, etc.) please make sure to fill out an allergy plan and we will accommodate this allergy. The snack fee for each child is a one-time fee to cover the yearly cost of snacks and is figured based on the number of days per week your child attends St. Timothy’s Preschool. A payment plan can be provided if paying the fee all at once creates a hardship for your family. The 2011-2012 snack fee is as follows: 2-day: $45.00 3-day: $55.00 4-day: $65.00 |
