Daycare workers eating kids’ food?

Would he be sharing with other kids at daycare? My son is only 12 weeks so I wouldn’t know lol.

If they're heating it up then they'll likely be throwing away any leftovers because it can't be reheated again. I really doubt they're eating his food. Can you ask how much of it he's eating? Our nursery (daycare) has an app to say how much they've eaten, what the meal was and share photos of them throughout the day.

could be they’re sharing food if kids won’t eat what’s available to them… just seems to happen all too often and I want to make sure he eats too

they’re supposed to send pictures regularly, but I’ve never gotten any. They’re supposed to fill out these little cards that’s say when they were changed, how much they ate, napped, etc. but they’re usually so generic it’s hard to say they actually filled them out that same day or if they checked those boxes well in advance of pick-up. I feel like I’m being thrown out of there when I’m dropping him off or picking him up

you should ask the teachers how much he eats. mention he’s super hungry when he’s home and you need to know if you should increase his portions.

I worked as a preschool teacher at several different schools prior to having kids. Usually if kids didn’t finish food we just sent it home and let the parents dispose of it. I am certain nobody working there is eating his food. There’s a very good chance your son is spilling his food on the table/floor quite a bit and that’s why it’s coming home empty. Some teachers will empty food from containers before putting it back. I would just ask them if he doesn’t finish to send it home. And also ask if he’s actually eating it all or if half is ending up on the floor.

My nanny used to work at a day care and said they'd absolutely eat leftovers
