Food Allergies

Wanna Play is a peanut-free facility, and we ask that you do not send any peanut products with your child for safety reasons. If your child has any food allergies, please note them on your registration form, and our staff will take every precaution to make sure they do not come in contact with triggering foods.

If you’d prefer that they only eat food from home, we will happily accommodate that preference. However, according to State Standards, every child in attendance for 4 hours or more must be served a meal. If your child is in our care for 4 hours or more, and they did not bring a meal from home, your account will be charged, and we will serve your child a meal.
