Snack - West Olive,MI

I would not push it too far, but I would ask why the snack was not passed out. Tell them your daughter has been really looking forward to it and has kept you abreast of her daily snacks.

As for the teacher eating one - how can you really be certain it came from the box you brought in?

Also - you should ask to make sure no one in her class has an allergy or if the parents mind their child having this type of treat. (I am not big on my son having dairy this time of year and I limit his intake, especially when ill... and creamcicles do contain some dairy.)
If it was a case like this, then I would request that it be returned. However, as these do not cost a ton - I would consider it a gift if the center kept them and I was happy with the care provided.

This is a pick your battles situation.

Yes, I would talk to the teacher about it in person and let her know that your daughter has really been looking forward to the snack you sent in TWO months ago and have not eaten yet...

But do not become pushy or beligerant about it. Things like demanding to speak about it with the center director BEFORE going to the teacher would cause problems for the future.

Just let her know that you keep track!!!
It may have been a simple oversight on her part and an assumption on the other teachers part. Or maybe that teacher brought in her own box in the summer and YOU are assuming they were yours...I also would ASSUME in the future that when you send in a snack for the kids that the teachers also partake. At least the teachers/aides in that room.

If you make a big deal about it right off the bat you may be searching for a new daycare tomorrow. See what their reaction is BEFORE jumping the gun. We do not know what goes on behind the scenes in everyones lives so give them a chance to explain.

I know I would push it further, but that is just me. I would have said something the day one of the staff was eating one. I would take my child out of there cause I don't want to be paying them to watch my child and pay to feed the staff members too. Like I said that is me. If she does not email you back ask them the same question when you pick her up, cause it is obvious that they are avoiding the question due to they are guilty. You might even want to tell some of the other parents to watch out for the same thing, cause if they are making a habit of this then its wrong to not feed a child what their parents bring in.

That doesn't seem right that they don't give out her snack. I'm thinking that the teachers probably don't realize how much it means to your daughter to have her snack given out. It's probably one of those things that gets overlooked. I would ask in person whoever is in charge of giving out the snacks why her snack hasn't been given out yet. Maybe they get so busy that they just forgot or maybe they keep all the "good" snacks for themselves:) If they don't give them out soon, I wouldn't bring in any more snacks.
