AFTER CARE PROGRAM

Providing a strong rhythm to carry the children through a joyful day.

The CWS After Care program is designed to support parents and children by providing flexible and nurturing after school options for children of all ages. After Care provides an essential care option for working parents; it also offers after school fun, enrichment, and support for families looking for an engaging and screen-free way for their child to spend free time after school hours.

For information about enrolling your child in After Care, please contact our Business Manager, Libby Rupp, at lrupp@cinciwaldorf.org. Contracted after care is provided at a discounted rate and guarantees that your child's space will be held. To book single day drop-in After Care sessions as space allows, please see the schedule information below!

Lunch Bunch

12:00-12:30pm

Lunch Bunch is a special experience for children who cherish the opportunity to eat lunch with their teachers and friends. Preschool and Kindergarten students enjoy a packed lunch with their teachers in their classrooms. It is also a great way to help children develop mealtime skills. Children begin mealtime with a blessing and are expected to sit, encouraged to try all the foods in their lunch, and learn to participate in quiet mealtime conversation with their teacher and peers. Pick-up is 12:30pm from your child’s classroom.
