Sending your little one to school for the first time can be full of worry and excitement. You carefully plan for their clothes, jackets, winter boots, mitts and toques, their backpacks - not too heavy, just right. Packing a nutritious lunch and snacks along with a hug and a kiss helps the day go smoothly.

*We are a nut free facility and ask that you are mindful of this policy when packing food for your child.

Compost & Recycle

At Alerces we strive to reduce waste as much as possible and have implemented a waste reduction and waste separation program where children will compost food waste, and recycle before throwing anything in the garbage. We ask that you send a lunch with little to no packaging when possible to help support our efforts in waste reduction. We have included some photos from our parents to give you inspiration, we hope you enjoy seeing these lunches as much as we do!
