Rock-a-bye baby, at S.E.L.C.!  As the soft sounds of Mozart’s Lullabies or nature plays in the background, your child drifts off to Never Neverland during our rest time.  The toddlers are gently rocked to sleep in the loving arms of our staff.  We provide a cot for each child to snuggle up on with their special pillow and blanket or sheet from home.  Sweet dreams to all!

In today’s society, many of us often skip breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Statistics have proven that children learn and retain more information with a nutritious breakfast each morning.  S.E.L.C. recognizes this need and understands the hectic mornings of most households.  We like to help in the best interest of both the parents and children.  Although we cannot provide your child with breakfast, your child is more than welcome to bring an already prepared breakfast to school.  Our facility does have a toaster and microwave for your convenience.

*Helpful Hints: Toaster’s Strudels, cereal with milk, yogurt, waffles, fruit, bagels, muffins, donuts, etc.

S.E.L.C. provides two snacks throughout your child’s day.  The snacks typically complement our thematic unit.  Often, your child is a part of preparing this snack.  The AM snack is nutritious and served with juice.  For instance, if the thematic unit is "Welcome Fall," your child may help make applesauce.  The PM snack may not be as nutritious, but it is guaranteed to be delicious.  From homemade ice cream to pudding, cakes and cupcakes galore, your child will always want "smore"!  Not only are we eating a yummy snack, but what better way to learn about measurements and teamwork.

Munch, munch, it’s time for lunch! Each child is required to bring in his/her own lunch.  Unfortunately, S.E.L.C. cannot supply your child with a lunch.  We recommend parents pack a nutritious lunch. Our staff oversees the children as they consume the items in their lunch from the most nutritious to the happy ending snack.  We give the children one hour to eat their lunch.  Come join our lunch bunch!
