You must register for this option on your Enrollment Contract. Click here for more information on Full Year Enrollment.
Option 2: Academic Year EDP Schedule
You may choose the days and times you need your child to stay during the academic school year (see EDP registration form to select options). Rates are calculated based on the number of school days (1/2 days are considered school days) and allocated over ten equal payments.
Option 3: Drop-In Care (Pre-K I – 6th grade only)
This is ideal if you anticipate using the program on an occasional basis. You must register for this choice on the EDP registration form, and then call or e-mail the EDP office at least 24 hours prior to the date you are requesting drop-in care in order to secure a place for your child on the requested day. This is necessary in order to provide appropriate student-teacher ratios.
You MUST complete the EDP registration form and return with the registration fee of $30.00 for the first child and $20.00 for each additional child. Several of our grade levels will be at capacity. Therefore, availability will be based on the date your EDP registration and fee are received.
