Our Afternoon Program is designed for children who are ready for a longer day.

Children bring their lunches from home and come together from the three morning classrooms to form the afternoon group. We currently offer extended programming three days per week: Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12-1 PM (Lunch Bunch), or 12-2 PM (Afternoon Program) as seasonal,

~12 week block session sign-ups (fall, winter, spring). 

​

Lunch Bunch:  Lunch time is followed by a relaxed period for interactions with friends and materials ending at 1:00 p.m.

​

Afternoon Program:  Children enjoy lunch and an extended time outdoors with nature-based curriculum. Various explorations, activities, and investigations are offered in our studio space. Dismissal is at 2:00 p.m.

​

The afternoon programs have their own teachers, working with other CNS staff. The ratio is no more than six children to one teacher.

​

CNS is also thrilled to host Kids Cooking Green for enrichment classes on Monday afternoons throughout the school year.
