Bethel Preschool Lunch Bunch & Extended Care

Lunch Bunch and extended care are offered to students in our 4s preschool classes and 5s transitional kindergarten, from Monday through Friday for our 2026-2027 school year. These options may be added to your child's morning preschool class to create a full-day experience for your preschooler.

Preschool Lunch Bunch

Students registered in our 4s morning preschool classes and 5s transitional kindergarten may extend their preschool day through enrollment in our Lunch Bunch program. Children who stay for Lunch Bunch will have the opportunity to hear stories, enjoy movement songs, eat lunch, and participate in recess. These activities provide more time with friends in a social setting, while allowing for development of important self-help skills. Children enrolled in Lunch Bunch will need to bring a healthy lunch with a drink from home or take part in Bethel's hot lunch program.
Registration for Lunch Bunch will be for one semester at a time, and you may choose 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 days per week. Children may be picked up at 1:00 or transition to Champions extended care at that time. Space will be limited in this program, so please plan to sign up as soon as possible.

Offered Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesday, Thursdays and Fridays
​(on days when preschool is in session)
Time: 11:15 AM - 1:00 PM
Fees: $10/day
(for example, if a student signs up for Mondays and there are 13 school Mondays in the semester, a total of $130 will be added to that semester's tuition due. No credits will be issued for days a student does not attend.)

Champions Extended Care

Bethel has partnered with Champions to provide before care, preschool enrichment and after care for our 4s preschool students and 5s transitional kindergarteners, right here at Bethel! Sign ups for ALL options are flexible, with attendance for each week confirmed by the Friday before. Childcare assistance is accepted, and various fee discounts will be available.

Preschoolers will transition to Champions staff following Lunch Bunch, and will enjoy daily enrichment activities (STEM, music, phonics, cooking and more!) from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Children may be picked up at 3:00 or transition to Champions after care.
