Lunch Buddies (for Pre-K Students)
This is an opt-in program which allows your student to bring a sack-lunch and stay an extra hour after class. During Lunch Buddies, under the supervision and direction of preschool staff and the director, students will eat lunch and have an opportunity to play and complete an extension activity from the day’s lessons (ie: a game, yoga, extra craft, gardening, etc.). Parents are asked to sign-up in advance so we can plan accordingly. The cost is $12 per one hour session.
