Extended Day is More Than Care

Children will have time each day to read, socialize with friends, participate in a variety of activities, and finish homework if needed. Extended Day is a fun, safe, and caring environment for children provided by staff who demonstrate enthusiasm, warmth and respect for our students.

Extended Day is offered for students in PreK – 6th grade from dismissal time to 6:00 p.m. each school day.
“By-the-Day” care, when you simply need care the day of, is available.
All-day care (7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) on most parent-teacher conference and faculty workdays is available.
