*Children 1-4 years of age are considered to be in the preschool age group in the NSLP and SBP. In situations where a 5-year-old is in preschool or a 4-year-old is in kindergarten, a sponsor may continue to serve the meal pattern appropriate for that age group.

Key reminders for snack for preschool children:

General

• Select two of the five components for a reimbursable snack. Only one of the components may be a beverage (milk or juice).

Milk

• Flavored milk is NOT allowed for preschool children.

• Milk must be unflavored whole milk for children age 1 and unflavored low-fat (1%) or unflavored fat-free milk for children 2-5 years old.

• Breakfast cereals must contain no more than 6 grams of sugar per dry ounce (no more than 21.2 grams of sugar per 100 grams of dry cereal).
