Extended Day

The Extended Day Care is an outstanding extension of the school family. At EDC, kids learn how to interact with one another, developing independence and personal skills. After school hours, students may stay and participate in Extended Day Care where the learning and fun continues. Both morning and afternoon care is available to best serve our families. Students enrolled in EDC may arrive as early as 7 AM and stay until 6 PM in the evening.
