Tammie's Tots participates in a food program to help ensure children receive balanced, age-appropriate meals and snacks. We focus on simple, kid-friendly foods and encourage children to try new things while respecting their preferences.
A typical day includes breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack. Menus may feature items such as oatmeal, fruit, sandwiches, pasta, vegetables, and milk or water. Please let us know in writing about any food allergies, sensitivities, or dietary restrictions. We will work with you to create safe options and may ask for a doctor’s note for certain restrictions. Outside food may be limited to protect children with allergies; please ask before sending special treats.
Please download and complete the forms below before your child’s first day. The State of Texas requires this form to be filled out before your child may attend their first day.
For a Texas licensed child-care home, the parent must complete and sign the admission information before the child is admitted into care—including the child’s first day.
Texas Form 2935 is designed to collect that required admission information. The form’s instructions state that the parent or guardian must complete it in its entirety and return it before the child’s first day of enrollment. No exceptions. Texas Administrative Code §747.607 also states:
“The parent must sign the admission information before you admit the child to your care.”
You will need to print and bring them with you. If you have any questions while filling them out, just give us a call and we will be happy to help. This form must be complete before the first day.
