All snacks shall meet acceptable nutritional standards, as prescribed in Appendix "C" Minimum Standards for Nutritional Care in Child Care Facilities. In child care facilities where all the children are present for four hours or less per day during normal hours of operation, snacks may be provided by parents. If any child is present for more than four hours per day on a routine basis the facility shall meet the standard of having snacks prepared by the facility or a permitted catering establishment.
When nutritional standards are not met by snacks provided by parents, it is the child care facility's responsibility to see that children are provided acceptable snacks prepared on-site or by a permitted catering establishment.
