Pre-K Lunch Bunch
Children in our morning Pre-K program will have the option to extend their day to stay with their class until 2:00pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Families can sign up for two, three, or four days a week. We do ask that you sign up for at least two days for consistency, and that the days stay the same every week. You will have the opportunity to add more days halfway through the school year. Keeping classes together will enable children to deepen relationships with their peers, while growing their stamina for a longer school day.
During Lunch Bunch, children will have fun with friends while continuing to develop new skills through interactive play, art, cooking, literature, and more! Daily activities will include lunch, outdoor time with each Lunch Bunch classroom, choice time and a goodbye circle. Special activities such as cooking and art will happen weekly. Newsletters with photos will be emailed home as well.
Lunch Bunch teachers will remain the same throughout the year. In classrooms where morning and afternoon teachers are different, during our phase-in period in September, afternoon teachers will visit the classroom to meet and spend time with the children prior to beginning Lunch Bunch. In this collaborative program, the morning teachers will give input to the afternoon teachers, allowing for continuity in the classroom.
We typically begin enrolling for this program in the late Spring.
