* small pieces of cut up fruit (grapes in half, strawberries, etc)
* 100% fruit juice diluted with water

Foods that we feel you should avoid sending:

* hot dogs
* peanuts
* marshmallows
* Lunchables
* food that needs to be heated or prepared
* soft drinks
* Gogurt yogurt
* candy
* chips
* popcorn

Ideas for celebrating special occasions:

* donut holes
* cupcakes with no icing
* teddy grahams

Some last thoughts:

* Sticking to a routine is key. Bring your child to school on time. Nap time at CDO begins around 12:30 pm. Begin practicing this nap routine at home. We rest in our quiet dark room and it helps to send a comfort item such as a pacifier, doll, pillow, etc. for your child to love at rest time.
* Don’t hang around when you bring your child to school. Long good-byes are hard on your child, the rest of the class, yourself and the teacher. Your child may cry for a short time when you leave, but it is quickly over and your child will have a great day after this transition is over.
* Please make sure you send a complete change of clothes everyday that are weather appropriate.
* If you are considering picking up your child before nap time please do so at or before 12:30 pm.
* If you are planning on leaving your child until pick up time at 2 pm, please help us establish that routine from the beginning of the school year.
