Lunch Bunch - it's not just lunch!

Lunch Bunch, our mid-day program, runs Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is a popular add-on for children, ages 3-5, registered in one of our core classes. Be a Lunch Buncher for 1, 2, 3 or all 4 days!

In addition to eating a lunch from home, the program includes time for quiet games and puzzles, arts and crafts, active play in the gym, and rotating play experiences.

A fun day was had by all at Andersonville Midsommarfest! Current and alumni parents and their kids staffed our tent in the Children's Area (AKA the Alamo Shoes parking lot). So many families came by to PLAY!

We will be there again today from 12 to 5 pm!

June 11 is International Day of Play, established by the United Nations General Assembly in recognition that play is a fundamental human right for all children.

At Families Together we celebrate play every day of the year! As we look to our children's future and think about all the challenges ahead, such as AI and climate change, it's more important than ever that children engage in open-ended play that expresses creativity, practices problem solving, and fosters compassion and kindness.
