The Discovery Center strives to be a peanut/nut free environment.

The number of children who have severe allergies to nuts and peanut products has greatly increased over the past few years. Several children, in fact, have life-threatening allergies involving nuts or peanuts. For this reason, The Discovery Center strives to maintain a peanut/nut-free program. We greatly appreciate your continued help and support in our effort to provide a safe environment for the children in our program by adhering to the following guidelines:

No products containing peanuts/nuts, or that are produced in a factory where nuts are present, may be brought into the building.

• No homemade food items will be accepted for snacks, lunches, or celebrations.

• Anyone who eats peanut/nut products should wash well before arriving at school (including hands, face, clean clothes).

• A family wishing to bring a birthday snack for their child should first check with the classroom teachers for any other children's food allergies and restrictions before bringing anything into the classroom to share.

• All other items must be cleared through the classroom staff. Families are urged to read the ingredient label of their chosen snack item to ensure that it does not contain any of the following: peanuts/nuts, peanut butter/nut butter, peanut/nut oil, peanut/nut flour, peanut/nut meal, or any of the statements "May contain traces of peanut/nuts" or "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts (and/or other nuts)".
