Extended Day & Enrichments

The Extended Day Program provides a well-staffed, fully-equipped child development program that strives to create an environment which will enrich each child’s physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development by providing a secure, caring, and stimulating program.

Early Birds is open from 7:00 A.M. to 7:45 A.M. before classes begin and After School is open from 12:30 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. according to the school calendar. Our programs offer a fun, creative, and active environment for the students of Episcopal Day School. We offer different scheduling options for all of our students in order to fit the needs of the parents in our school community.

Classes are divided based on grade and enrollment.
