Extended Day Program

The CDS Extended Day Program is designed to achieve a balance of engaging educational activities and supervised free play. Children may choose from a wide variety of afternoon fun, such as sports and games, study hall, building, art, music, cooking, gardening, and community service projects.

Hours & Rates

Hours: A variety of schedules are offered to fit each family’s needs. The Extended Program is available Monday through Friday after school until 6:00 p.m. every day school is in session (except Grandparents & Special Friends Day, the day before Winter Break, and Graduation).

Rates: Full-day care (8am-6pm) is included in tuition for all preschoolers. For all other ages and grades, the hourly extended program rate is $14 and is individually adjusted according to each family's sliding scale tuition. Families may also opt into full-year care for $5,500. Prorated full-year care is available, and ask about our early bird pricing for full-year care!

After School Program

The core of the Extended Day Program, our after school program, is offered from dismissal until 6:00 p.m. and includes age-appropriate combinations of academic and recreational activities.

Taking full advantage of our protected acre of land, experienced teachers create a dynamic environment that is fun and engaging and provides ample time for play.
