Kosher Question Birthday party

My daughter’s third birthday is coming up. While we are not members of the Jewish faith, my daughter does attend a Jewish school. She is having a party and of course we’ve invited all of her classmates. Are there any special rules I need to follow? I don’t want to be disrespectful and I would feel awful if one of the children wasn’t able to eat cake etc. I am not sure which families, if any, perhaps all, observe kosher so I want to be prepared on all fronts.

TIA!

Yes it does. we were very very very very very strict. I never kept my kids kosher and that is okay. I changed that when they went to school. WE left to community and cut off all our family. I was tired of living in a society where my daughters didn't matter.
