Peanuts and Peanut Products
Due to the fact that we are now getting between 15
and 20 children each year who are allergic to peanuts and any derivatives
of these products, Lilliput will not serve foods with peanuts, tree nuts,
or with the words "may contain peanuts" or "made in a
factory with peanuts. Children are not allowed to bring products with nuts, or peanut oil to the school. Parents
need to provide
the labels
of any product that they send to school with their child. If by accident
one of these products comes to the school, the teacher will take it and
return it to the parent. It will not be served. Lilliput
cannot be held responsible for peanut or nut products that come into
the school unexpectedly.
We know many parents like to send in a snack for the class on special occasions. We must be sure that these snacks are safe for all the children. We also want the children with allergies to be included in all activities and celebrations whenever possible.
When sending in a snack, please send ONLY the items listed on the class safe food list. Pay close attention to the brand names for it is only these brands that are safe for this allergic child. We know that if you were the parent of a child with severe allergies, you would appreciate the help of other parents and teachers.
*** If your child eats any peanut / peanut butter products before coming to school he/ she needs to wash arms from elbows down, hands, face and brush teeth before coming to Lilliput.
Thank you for your compliance and support in our efforts to provide a safe learning enviornment for all children!
