Children enrolled in ALL AGE GROUPS may participate in extended care.  A few options exist in the Extended Day Program; billing will be based on which option is chosen.  Discounted rates apply to those who choose a "routine daily schedule" (staying the same days and hours each week).  Between the hours of 12:00 and 2:00pm, extended day children will have lunch, indoor play, and an outside playtime.  Children staying beyond 2:00pm will have a rest period, an afternoon snack. time, an outside time and additional varied activities.    Space permitting, with teacher/child ratios, children may choose to say on an infrequent (as needed) basis provided that families notify the office two days prior to the day your child plans to stay.
