Extended Day Program Mission 

EDP supports the needs of families and their children by providing an environment that is warm and nurturing and where children have fun, relax, learn, and spend time with friends.  The program will be consistent with the Touchstone philosophy and meet nationally recognized standards for school-age children.

Calendar

Hours of operation 

EDP is open from 7:45 to 8:15 a.m. and 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. on all regular school days.  In addition, EDP is open 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Curriculum days and Parent/Teacher Conference days, for which advance registration for either 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. or 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. is required.  Early morning EDP (7:45 - 8:30 a.m.) is also an available option for curriculum days.  It is a drop-in only option, requires no registration, and the cost is $5.00.  

Closures

EDP is not offered before the week of the first day of classes.  EDP is closed for some holidays and on all snow days; it is also closed when school is in session for a half day.  EDP is not offered after the final day of classes.

Should we determine during the school day that EDP must be cancelled or must close before 6:00 p.m., we will contact a parent of each student as early as possible to notify you and assist in making plans for pick-up.  These situations are rare, but usually involve dangerous weather and/or driving conditions.  It’s a good idea to have back-up plans for picking up your children in such instances.

Registration
Registration is done through  contracts or on a monthly basis. Contracts and monthly sign up forms are available to families in August, either in the school office or on the web site.  EDP offers lower rates for parents who register in advance, or use a contract, since this helps us plan ahead and insures a higher quality program.

Before school care, bridge fees, and hourly conference rate: $5.00.  Free EDP is offered to children when the parent is here volunteering.
