Attention Parents!Allergy Reminder

Just a quick reminder to everyone that we do have a peanut allergy in our daycare.  As much as we love all your treats, please do not bring any treats that have any kind of nut, peanut or peanut butter.  Always remember to check ingredient labels on packages before bringing them into the daycare.  Even if you know the product does not contain any nuts, still check the label. Sometimes different products are made in the same machines causing traces of nuts or their oils to be in another product.  In this case, many packages will have a special note concerning allergies.  If not, please take a minute to read through the ingredients and make sure there are no nuts.  Also, always leave all labels on store-purchased foods.  We always double check our food labels before serving the food.

The allergic reaction caused by nuts can be very serious.  So please check all labels carefully before bringing in treats.
