Tuesday through Thursday, 11:30-12:30, for 3 and 4 day Afternoon students

This is an optional program in which families in our 3, 4, and 5 day classes may elect to have their children stay for lunch at school and extend their hours of attendance.  (Children in 4 or 5 morning classes may enroll for up to 4 days per week; children in 3 morning classes may enroll for up to 2 days per week; children in 3 and 4 day afternoon classes may enroll for up to 3 days per week.)  Enrollment for this program is in May; parents who need a specific schedule must apply by May 20. Following that date, available slots are filled on a first come, first served basis.

3 and 4 Afternoon students (11:30-12:30)	$9/session ($10 for drop-in*)

 

*As the school year progresses (after October 1), and spaces become available, parents may ask about a "drop-in" for lunch on a specific day.  Such spaces are very limited and must be approved by the Administrative Director before the requested lunch session.  If the drop-in is approved, an invoice at the higher daily rate will be sent to the family for payment within 10 days of the drop-in session.

Warren W. Cherry Preschool is an independent, parent-governed, not-for-profit, non-sectarian preschool open to all children in our community. The school admits students of any race, color and national or ethnic origin, and does not discriminate in the administration of its educational policies, admission policies, financial aid program, or other school administered programs. Cherry Preschool exists without the sponsorship of a larger institution, thus enjoying independence, stability, and the benefits of being able to focus all its energies on innovative, developmentally appropriate early childhood educational programs. As an independent school, however, there are financial burdens that heighten the role of fundraising to cover the cost of more than the basic program. To provide our children with enriching activities, compensate our staff fairly, and include children with special needs and children who are economically disadvantaged, families are required to volunteer their time and energy in support of the school.
