Food/Snack Info

Each child will need to bring a healthy snack, lunch and a drink to school daily. Please send items in child size, self-serve portions. We will not have a refrigerator or microwave for student use. Please use an ice pack if needed.
 
PEANUT POLICY
We are a Peanut Free Zone for the safety of all that use our classrooms both with the preschool, afterschool and additional child programs. Please refrain from sending peanut and nut related items in your child’s snack and lunch for the safety of all children.
 
While the YMCA of Greater Charlotte is committed to be a peanut allergy friendly facility, we cannot guarantee that peanuts will not find their way into our facility. We ask that you continue to take every precaution to protect yourself and your children from unwanted exposure to peanut allergens.
