Hey there, food allergy mama!
After 18 years of navigating food allergies and 15 years of school experience, I know just how overwhelming it can feel to hand your little one over to someone else. Trust me, I’ve been there. Add food allergies to the mix, and it can feel like the most stressful decision ever.
But you don’t have to figure this out alone. Today, I’m sharing the exact questions I would ask preschools, daycares, and schools if I were doing it all over again. These questions are designed to help you feel confident and empowered as you search for a safe and supportive environment for your child. And here’s a bonus: they work for kindergarten and elementary schools too!
And because I know how much peace of mind matters, I’ve also created a stress-relieving School Allergy Plan Template. This resource goes beyond today’s questions and dives deep into what food allergy safety at school can look like. I’ll tell you more about that later, so stick around!
You won’t want to miss the most important questions at the end — they could make all the difference. So grab your favorite drink, take a deep breath, and let's get to it.
I'm cheering for you!
