We loved
this comment from one satisfied failsafer: "Ah,
the answer to my prayers. I had no idea the brochure even existed, but thanks
so much for directing me to it. I am not very Internet savvy, however I found
it easy enough. Regarding possible opposition to failsafeing within the child
care setting ... now all I have to do is hand over a copy of this and let them
ask questions! Thanks again. I highly recommend everyone print this out if you
don't already have a copy, it sure cuts out the "but WHY can't your kid
have (insert food here)?" questions. Great for grandparents too."
