For a minimal extra fee, children who are enrolled in the morning part-day class may come to school between 7:30- 8:30 a.m.

Snacks and Lunch

Children are asked to bring one piece of fruit or vegetable to school each day to share with the whole class for snack. ELC provides crackers, bread, etc.

Children may bring their own lunch or hot lunches are available through LunchMaster for an additional fee.

Nap and rest

Full-day children will have a rest time after lunch. Children who do not sleep will stay on their mats for approximately an hour. Those who sleep generally stay on their mats for up to 2 hours.
