We are excited to share information about the Extended Day Program for the 2023-24 school year. Our Extended Day Program begins directly after school dismissal each day and ends promptly at 6:00 p.m. The Extended Day Program for this school year will begin on Monday, September 11, 2022.

Teacher Olivia and the Extended Day staff are dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment where students can socialize and enjoy a variety of activities including outdoor exploration, organized games, arts and crafts, and dramatic play, as well as opportunities to participate in fun, specially themed activities throughout the year. All children who attend Extended Day are provided with a healthy snack to start the afternoon. Caregivers are welcome to pack an extra snack for their child(ren) as well. 

Pricing for Extended Day is as follows:

• $10/day for pick-up before or by 4:00 p.m.

• $25/day for pick-up between 4:01-6:00 p.m.

• Families will be charged $1/minute for late pick-ups past 6:00 p.m., and chronic latenesses may result in exclusion from The Extended Day

If you are interested in registering your child in the FFS Extended Day Program, or if you may need to use Extended Day on a drop-in basis throughout the year, please visit our registration page: FFS Extended Day Registration 2023-24. Please note that drop-in for Extended Day must be arranged a week in advance. 

The Extended Day Program is open on all school days unless stated on the School Calendar. Here’s to a wonderful year ahead, filled with great learning and fun both during and after school!
