Extended Day Program

The purpose of the Extended Day Program is to provide quality childcare for elementary age children, before and after their normal school day at Christ the King Catholic School. The Extended Day Program will follow the school calendar for days of operation. There is no Extended Day Program on early dismissal days. 

Before-school care begins at 7:15 a.m. unless specific arrangements are made 24 hours in advance for an earlier drop-off time (emergencies only, please). The children in before-school care are dismissed from care at 7:55 a.m. to report to their homerooms. Hours of operation for after-school care are from 3:15 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. each school day. Parents must make advance arrangements with the extended day staff if children are attending activities such as choir, scouts, sports or music lessons before coming to extended day care. A pre-designated adult must sign each child into day care after these activities. Children will be released from day care only to parents/guardians unless other arrangements are made in advance with day care personnel.

There is an annual $30.00 registration fee per family. Registered families are guaranteed a place for their child in the program. Families using this service on an occasional drop-in basis are not required to register, but are taken on a space available basis. RESERVATIONS FOR DROP-IN CHILDCARE MUST BE MADE BY 3:00 P.M. THE DAY BEFORE CARE IS NEEDED. IF THIS IS NOT DONE, A $5.00 SURCHARGE IN ADDITION TO THE REGULAR HOURLY FEE WILL BE CHARGED. This is necessary in order to achieve the state-mandated ratio of adults to students for adequate supervision. A prepay system with monthly scheduling will be used for those registered. Schedules accompanied by payment must be turned in by Wednesday of the week before care is needed. Payment for drop-in care is made when the children are picked up.

Note: Morning sessions are billed as 1 hour. A minimum of 1 hour will be charged for afternoon care. There is a late pick-up fee of $10.00 for each 5 minutes or portion thereof after the 5:30 P.M. closing time. Balance must be paid at the end of each month in order for your child(ren) to continue to receive day care services. For billing purposes, charges will be estimated to the nearest half-hour. 

Any student left unattended after 3:25 p.m. while waiting for a ride home or prior to 7:45 a.m., will be checked into Extended Day Care and the appropriate fees charged.
