Lunch at The Child Unique Montessori

At The Child Unique Montessori, lunchtime is a community experience where children eat together with teachers, practicing grace and courtesy while observing healthy eating habits in action. Families provide a home-packed lunch and drink, encouraging independence and responsibility in meal choices. Microwaves are available at all three campuses, and perishable items should be labeled and stored in the refrigerator.

For health and safety reasons, food sharing is not permitted, and our school maintains a strict peanut-free and nut-free policy. To support nutrition and well-being, lunches should align with USDA guidelines and be free of candy, cookies, soda, and junk food.

We encourage parents to involve their child in selecting a balanced, nourishing lunch, reinforcing Montessori principles of independence, self-care, and mindful eating.
