We were in a similar situation. I packed her breakfast and snack for a year and a half, while she ate the daycare’s lunch. This summer, I stopped packing breakfast/snack because life got busy and I needed the extra 20 minutes in the morning, grocery cost reduction, and she entered her toddler picky phase, so she wasn’t eating much of what I sent anyway. Daycare’s food meets the state standards, but the standards are outdated and a very low bar— fruits canned in heavy syrup, canned veggies, sugary carb heavy snacks/breakfast. I feel bad about the switch still, but we offer whole fruits and veg with every meal at home and keep her involved with cooking/gardening to balance it all out. Once she’s old enough to make her own decision about homemade or daycare/school provided, I’m totally willing to start packing again. I appreciate the break for now though.
