Lunch Bunch – A Tasty Add On To Preschool!

Lunch Bunch is a great way for kids in our 3- and 4-year-old preschool programs to enjoy extra time at school—before or after their regular class.

Here’s what to know:

• Kids bring a lunch from home and eat with friends
• Led by our experienced ECFE teachers
• Offers extra play, learning, and social time
• Parents join their child the first week of each month
• ⚠️ Due to all children bringing their own food, we cannot accommodate severe food allergies

It’s a fun, relaxed way to build independence, friendships, and add a little more joy to the preschool day!

No ECSE support: Children in this class will not receive additional ECSE support and should be able to follow classroom expectations independently.

Learning Goals for this class:

1. Lunchtime Independence – Children will practice opening containers, managing their food, and following mealtime routines with minimal assistance.
2. Social Skills & Self-Regulation – Children will engage in conversations with peers, practice table manners, and develop patience while waiting for others to finish eating.

Children must meet the age range by September 1st to attend this class and currently enrolled in a BPS preschool class.
