Lunch Bunch – Our Popular Mid-Day Program
Lunch Bunch, our popular mid-day program, runs Monday through Thursday during the school year from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Students bring a nut-free lunch and water bottle from home. The program includes time for quiet games and puzzles, active play in the gym, exploring our greenhouse, eating lunch, and rotating play experiences. To enroll in Lunch Bunch your child must be registered for a core class (Junipers, Willows, Maples or Oaks). Drop-in or make-up spots are not available.

Is My Child Ready?
Children need to be 3 years old to participate in Lunch Bunch. To thrive in Lunch Bunch, students will need to be comfortable with transitions and different groups of kids, confident in using the bathroom independently, and able to handle being away from a parent/caregiver for a longer time than our class length.
