Do You Serve Breakfast

[Crazy8]

I answered yes, I do SERVE breakfast (at 8am), but it is brought by the parents. Some come in at 7:30 having ate bfast at home, others come in at 8am and need to eat - fine either way. Only problem is when kids show up at 8:45-9am and have breakfast in their bag - I tell parents they can eat it at snack time (9:30am) but I discourage it and tell them if they are coming in after 8am they need to have had bfast at home.

We start feeding the littles at 7:30 a.m. and the preschoolers at 8:30 a.m. If a straggler comes in after 9:00 a.m. without breakfast, they will get a cereal bar and milk to tide them over until lunch. We normally do cold cereal twice a week and a "hot breakast" three times a week.

I guess you could call it breakfast or morning snack...I let the parents know I don't serve a big breakfast but I do feed them something about 8:00. It may be a bowl of cereal and juice, bagels and bananas (milk) or cereal bars and yogurt (juice). Only on the occasion that I am really hungry and want something hot that I actually cook anything. And usually the kids won't even eat it! So if they feel they need more than that in the morning they can feed them something before they come but most shrug their shoulders and say "that's fine with me".

I serve what I call morningsnck/breakfast.

I have mostly school aged and right now none of them come before school very often. When they do come before school then I serve breakfast, upon aravile.

On non-school days most of the children aravie between 8:00-8:30 (the time parent would normaly be dropping them at school). On those days I
serve "AM snack at 8:45" I claim it on the food prgram as brakfast. So far my exprience has been that the children do not whant morning snack. Which
means that mostly I offer but do not acually serve it. I have it on the table and ask the children if they would like to eat they say no and 15 min later I
put it away and we have it for afternoon snack, the next day.

I don't serve breakfast because I wouldn't have time to prepare it. My kitchen is really busy in the morning and the last thing my family needs is me going around preparing breakfast for the kids. They all have breakfast at home anyway.

My family and daycare kids eat together at 8am.

I open at 7:00 and serve breakfast at 7:15-7:30. (I have three here right around 7am) If you come after you must eat at home. I'm only serving it once and that is when my own kids eat before school so I don't mind it.

I also do very easy things like oatmeal, cereal, muffin and fruit, etc. If my kids are off school I'll do pancakes, waffles, stuff like that since I have more time.

I serve breakfast until 9 (late I know). I typically serve at 8 and if you are here you eat. Anyone who arrives after will mention if they ate at home and I give them a choice to eat or not. I only have 2 families so its not hard to manage. My son eats fruit before the kids come and again when they eat.
