How do I manage my toddler's food allergy at daycare?

Create a written allergy action plan with your pediatrician or allergist and share it with all caregivers. Ensure the daycare has epinephrine auto-injectors available and staff trained to use them. Pack safe snacks and meals to avoid cross-contamination, and clearly label all foods. Teach your toddler simple phrases like 'I can't eat that, it makes me sick.' Request that the daycare follow allergen-aware policies. Review the plan with your pediatrician at least annually.
