Extended Day Program (EDP)

The Extended Day Program (EDP) at UES offers convenient, high quality care for UES students before and after school. The on-site program is integrated with the school day and focuses on the social and emotional issues of children's lives. It nurtures a strong sense of community, emphasizes values of caring and respect for others, and encourages appreciation of each child's culture, language, and ethnicity. Adults help children openly express their feelings and needs, and model ways to manage and reduce conflicts.

Before-school program: 7:00 to 8:00 a.m. - $115 per month After-school program: 2:40 - 5:30 p.m. - $360 per month 5:30 - 6:00 p.m. - $55 per month After-school program for 4-year-olds: 11:30 a.m. - 2:40 p.m. - $360 per month 11:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. - $490 per month

The EDP is structured to encourage children to make their own decisions about how to spend their time. Children choose among a variety of activities and projects including music, art, drama, science, woodworking, sewing, cooking, building, dramatic play, homework, and much more. A sense of being part of a community and caring for one another is conveyed through each activity.
