Is breakfast and / or lunch required in Preschool?

I have a question about preschoolers and food in California. My child attends a Preschool in the city and to send home a flyer today saying that no longer serves breakfast and lunch. They do not really have an explanation for it, but says he will serve a snack instead. That is cup celery 1 / 2, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and a glass of water. I know because I was sent home with a new menu snack. I'm upset as you can see. But I am writing because I can not find anywhere if it is a rule that the State of California ran preschoolers should have meals or meal 1. Is it a requirement for them? I'm finding a lot of websites about nutrition preschoolers. However, no That means they have to have food? I would be grateful for any information you have. Thanks for your time.

Hmmm. My children attended preschool in the state California and served them lunch, but no breakfast. The Headstarts serve breakfast / lunch for tomorrow's class and lunch / snack PM. That's weird. All sites for State Preschool are served lunch. Ask the teacher or the site administrator what is happening.
