We used to go through something similar. In our case, I think it was just a power struggle. That said, it never hurts to setup a time to speak in more depth with the preschool teacher. She might have some insights on how your child is in the mornings specifically. She also may not be telling the whole truth so if there's other staff on hand, it would be good to talk to them too.

Hummus and veggies, pasta salad with chopped chicken, cheese, and vegetables, chicken salad with fruit / veg chopped in. If you want something warm, you can do quick sautees like steak fajitas and tortillas on the side (cut / prep meat and veg the night before then just sautee in the morning). If you have more time, you can marinate chicken drumettes the night before then stick them in the oven in the morning while you take care of your other tasks. Healthy sides / snacks: Prep things like fruit salad at the beginning of the week then portion out, nuts + dry fruit, pumpkin seeds etc.

I volunteer in my daughter’s Brownie Troops and some of the girls are such little divas! This is the opposite behavior we are trying to promote. They are critical of each other but more hurtful is when they are whispering about a loner in the group. I don’t want to just tell them it’s bad to talk about others that way. I would like to inspire them to think about it and change this on their own. Any suggestions?

We just keep our own TV watching for whenever our baby is sleeping. There doesn't seem to be much time for it otherwise anyways.
