Lexplorations does not supply lunch or snacks.
Please pack snacks, drinks and lunch (and utensils if required) for your child daily. There are no refrigerators in the classrooms. Please provide an ice pack if necessary. If your child is entering Kindergarten, 1st or 2nd grade, we recommend that they bring an extra T-shirt, underwear, and shorts/pants. Please do not send your children to Lexplorations in flip-flops. Ideally students will wear sandals with straps, or sneakers.
Children should be able to participate in peer group activities with teacher supervision. If a child is unable to do so we will contact parents immediately to discuss the appropriate next steps. We expect students in our programs to follow their teacher’s instructions and behave respectfully toward teachers, staff and fellow students. If your child does not meet these expectations we will bring this to your attention. If your child’s behavior continues to be inappropriate, you will receive a call from our staff to discuss solutions including possible withdrawal from the non-refundable program.
