Allergy Safety Policy and Procedures

The safety and wellbeing of all children is our top priority. To minimize the risk of allergic reactions, especially for children with severe allergies, the following guidelines must be followed:

Snacks or Food Items Labeled “May Contain”

  • Snacks labeled “May contain [allergens]” may be served at the center.
  • Children with known allergies must be seated at a separate table away from any children consuming food labeled “May contain” their specific allergen(s).

Meal & Snack Safety Protocols

  • Children with allergies must always be monitored closely during snacks and mealtimes.
  • All children must wash their hands and face both before and after eating to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
  • Any item that contains a known allergen for any enrolled child, based on ingredient listings or shared allergy information, is strictly prohibited and must not be served under any circumstances.

These practices are in place to prevent exposure and ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all children. Staff are responsible for checking food labels and allergy alerts daily, and for enforcing seating and hygiene protocols without exception.
