Lunch Program
Nourishing Minds and Bodies Through Healthy Habits
At Uxbridge Montessori School, we believe that mealtime is an extension of learning. Whether students bring lunch from home or participate in our school-supported lunch options, we use this time to promote independence, social interaction, and healthy lifestyle choices.
We understand the importance of providing children with nutritious meals that fuel both their bodies and their minds. Our approach emphasizes:
- Balanced nutrition that supports learning and energy throughout the day
- Consistent routines to help children understand responsibility around food
- Calm, respectful mealtimes that foster conversation, table manners, and community
- Allergy awareness and safe practices to ensure a safe environment for all students
Please be mindful that UMS is a nut-free environment to ensure the safety of all students. We also encourage families to pack nutritious, balanced meals and avoid candy or sugary snacks.
Lunch Options
UMS offers flexible lunch arrangements to accommodate family preferences:
- Bring Your Own Lunch (BYOL): Students may bring nutritious, nut-free lunches from home. We encourage litterless lunches and ask families to avoid highly processed or sugary foods.
- Optional Lunch Program (If applicable): Our school partners with Wholesome Kids Catering to provide optional lunch services for families who wish to participate. Meals are prepared fresh and are designed to be child-friendly, balanced, and allergen-aware.
