Lunch Bunch 

For toddlers – PreK children enrolled in half-day programming, Lunch Bunch lets you extend the day to 1:00 pm. Children enjoy lunch with friends and an enriching array of art, language, science, and nature activities.

Kinder Concepts 2026-27 School Year

Maximize your child’s Kindergarten prep! Open to children enrolled in our PreK program, Kinder Concepts focuses on multiple subjects each day, from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. Kinder Concepts can be added to half-day (includes Lunch Bunch) and full-day programs. Choose as little as one or as many as five days per week. Kinder Concepts will not be offered during the 2025-26 school year; however, we will offer the program again during the 2026-27 school year.
