We have children in our programs with life threatening allergies to NUTS AND EGGS. At no time is it allowable for these foods to be brought to school. If your child has consumed or come into contact with any of the above allergens (i.e. peanut butter), it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to ensure that you have cleaned these products off your child’s face, hands, and clothing. The families of these children deserve assurance that their children will be safe at nursery school. Your understanding and cooperation is appreciated.
