In today’s diverse dietary landscape, understanding and catering to varying nutritional needs has become more than just a courtesy; it’s a necessity. Among the most prevalent dietary concerns that have emerged over recent years is gluten sensitivity and celiac disease. While most adults have the agency to navigate these dietary restrictions, young children, especially those in preschools, rely on caretakers and educators to ensure their meals are both nutritious and safe. Gluten-free meal planning in preschools isn’t merely a trend; it’s a crucial measure to safeguard the health and well-being of children who cannot tolerate gluten. With an increase in gluten-related disorders, the need to weave gluten-free alternatives into preschool menus has never been more essential.
