Portions and total to make
Open a center to see each classroom serving and preparation quantity. Allergy tags show an alert only—staff must check the protected individual plan for details.
Ingredients for 10 preschool servings
- 2 1/2 cups seedless grapes
- 5 oz mild real cheese
- 5 oz approved beef stick for developmentally ready children ages 4–5
- Approved soft turkey or shredded chicken for every child under age 4
Grapes are always quartered lengthwise. Beef stick is never served whole or in round coins. Children eat seated with direct adult supervision.
Preparation
Wash and dry grapes, then quarter every grape lengthwise immediately before packing. Cut cheese into thin, short strips. For developmentally ready children ages 4–5 only, split the approved beef stick lengthwise and cut it into pieces no larger than 1/2 inch. Keep refrigerated until service.
Infant and toddler adjustment
Do not serve beef sticks to children under age 4. Use the soft-protein serving shown above and substitute softer fruit when grapes are not developmentally appropriate.
Allergy adjustment
Follow the classroom allergy tag and protected individual plan. Use the approved dairy-free cheese alternative when required.
