LUNCH BUNCH EXTENDED PROGRAM

Time:           Monday                                             12:00 – 2:00

                   Tuesday                                             12:00 – 2:00

Cost            $10 per child each day

Lunch Bunch is an optional component of our preschool program.  It offers children the opportunity to bring lunch and play informally with their friends at the end of our morning preschool session.

The cost for the program is $10.00 per Lunch Bunch session.  You may sign up on the morning you wish your child to stay or you can pay in advance and schedule your dates at the beginning of each month to ensure your child’s spot is reserved. Each session is limited to 12 children. 

At Lunch Bunch, the children will eat with their teachers and other students in our classroom.  We will encourage the children to use good eating habits and table manners.  Children will remain at the table until at least one teacher is ready to supervise playtime.   The children are not allowed to share food with friends.  We will send home any uneaten food so you will know what your child has eaten.  We ask that you pack your child a nutritious lunch with the amount you know they will eat.  Please avoid sending candy.    

Out of courtesy to the teachers, please be on time to pick up your child.   Late fees will be charged if late pick-up becomes habitual.  We will conduct dismissal as we do at the end of the normal preschool session, with the car pick-up line.
