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 – 7th grade from dismissal time to 6:00 PM each school day.
- “By-the-Day” care, when you simply need care the day of, is available. Details on how to sign-up for By-the-Day care can be found here.
- All-Day Care (7:30 AM – 6:00 PM) on most parent-teacher conference and faculty workdays is available.
