I will try to make this short.
Yesterday I picked up my son from his "Peanut Free" daycare, the teacher asked me if he was aloud to eat Goldfish. I take his food and snakcs everyday but a goldfish had fallen on the floor and he ate it. I told her that I thought they were a safe snack but had not started to let him have them yet. Since we were on the conversation of snacks, I looked over to the snack cuby to see what other snack were in there. I saw pretzels, vanilla waffers, and Honey Nut cheerios. Then there was a small bag of what looked like snack mix. I asked the teacher what they were and she explained that they were her nuts (peanuts included). I quickly reminded her that the school was nut free and she looked at me like I was crazy. I composed myself as much as I could and went to the Directors office (who wasn't there) and spoke with the assiant director. She was very appoligetic and said she would take corrective action. My husband and I decided corrective action is not enough and that we should have a meeting to go over our expectations of the school and see what staff rules need to be evaluated. Or we may be looking for new childcare. I know this is short notice but we have a meeting at 4pm central time today, any advice on what I should cover witht them?

Hi. If you could, find another daycare. It means that they are really not educated on the severity of this. I took my son two days a week to a daycare which was peanut free for two years. They were fabulous and we never had an accident. There are great ones out there. I would look around and start interviewing. Find an allergy group in your area..it really helped me find the fabulous place where we placed our son. Good luck!
