Extended Day Programs
We like to think of our Extended Day program as the New Neighborhood: a safe, comfortable space to spend time with classmates, complete homework, build new friendships, explore new areas of interest, build specialized skills, and have fun at the end of a busy school day. We are committed to providing a variety of options in a safe and fun environment. Read on for more detailed information about our Extended Day Programs.
