Switching from weekly to monthly daycare menus may be the best choice you'll ever make...
Back when my mom and I opened our first daycare in 2010, we used to plan weekly daycare menus but we don't anymore and here's why:
Weekly daycare menus were often time consuming and expensive, taking away time we could be working on other daycare things and caused us to miss saving on grocery items throughout the month.
Rather use a weekly daycare menu, we now use a monthly daycare menu and the results couldn't be better.
Rather than plan a new daycare menu every week, we now know what the daycare will be serving each month.
And, by knowing what meals will be prepared throughout the month we're able to take advantage of grocery stores sales, promotions, and discounts throughout the week.
To save time and money by preparing a 30 day daycare menu, here's all you need to do:
Plan a month's work of meals at the end of the month using a cycle menu format and think of the breakfast, lunch, am/pm snack meals you will serve each week.
Or, if planning a monthly meal seems too time consuming, you can always opt to purchase a monthly done for you daycare menu.
We feature a Done For You Daycare Menu in our daycare store which comes with:
- one Done For You Monthly Daycare Menu which features delicious and affordable breakfast, lunch, and am/pm snacks meals.
- is CACFP approved.
- and, can be re-used month after month.
