Alef Preschool Lunch

Help your child enjoy breakfast, lunch and snack at Alef.

School menu will be posted closer to the beginning of the school year.

At Alef Preschool, we are happy to provide lunch and snack for all children, plus breakfast for kids enrolled from 7:00am, at no extra charge.

Food is catered, made fresh every day.

We put a lot of effort into having a menu that is made up of real food, with healthy, as well as kid-friendly options.

We realize that not all kids enjoy the same type of food, and that some kids are very picky eaters.

We offer lunch at Alef included in tuition because we feel it enhances the school experience for both child and parent.

For breakfast, lunch and snacks you have the following four options:

1. ALL ALEF: Enjoy the breakfast/lunch/snacks included in tuition at no extra charge.
2. ALL FROM HOME: Send your own breakfast/lunch/snacks for your child to enjoy.
3. HYBRID 1: Send some of your own breakfast/lunch/snacks for your child and they can have some of Alef food and some of the food brought from home.
4. HYBRID 2: You can check the menu and send food for your child only on days that you know they will not want to eat Alef breakfast/lunch/snacks.

What Alef does:
Alef Preschool is a place where kids grow, discover, and enjoy. Alef provides a great breakfast/lunch/snacks option included in tuition to enhance the experience for both parents and children. Food choices are part of the learning process that children often need help with. Teachers encourage and help children with food options. Meal and snack time at Alef are an opportunity teachers to help children learn to try new things and make great discoveries about food, colors, shapes, consistencies, smells, and of course taste.

What parents can do:
Parents and care takers can help children grow by encouraging their children to try new foods, so that they can expand their palate and learn to enjoy a greater variety of foods. Practice at home by doing taste activities during meals, encourage, support and understand that it is a process and that it is fun to discover new foods. The food tasting activity can be a culture at home, and eventually it becomes second nature.

Lunch/snack options in summary:

1. Enjoy the food we serve at Alef at no extra charge.
2. Check to make sure your child will eat what’s on the menu each day.
3. Send food from home every day or only on days that your child will not eat.
4. Encourage and speak with your child about trying new foods. Try it at home! 

Please keep in mind that ALEF is NUT FREE. No food that has any nuts or seeds is allowed in Alef Preschool.

Children are not allowed to share any food brought from home, for reasons of food safety, allergies, and Kosher laws.
