Extended Day Program
Extended Day Programs (before and after school) are held at Glendening, Madison and Sedalia elementaries.

The Extended Day Program is a before and after school child care proposal for children in grades K-5, who reside in the Groveport Madison Schools.  The purpose is to provide affordable, quality child care that instills a sense of pride for both school and community.  Transportation is provided to and from the program to the school.

The Program
The morning program begins at 7:00 AM and lasts until school starts.  The afternoon program begins directly after school and ends at 6:00 PM.  The Extended Day Program follows the school district calendar; therefore, when school is not in session, Extended Day will be closed as well. 

Each site is staffed with a site director and one-two assistants, with adult/child ratio not to exceed 1 to 18.  The program provides age appropriate games, arts and crafts activities and many special events.  An area for homework is offered.  Outside time, supervised by staff, is encouraged if weather is permitting.  The staff at Extended Day takes great pride in providing a safe and caring atmosphere in which children enjoy a variety of activities.

Extended Day Program Goals
  • To provide a developmentally appropriate "play" and "success" oriented curriculum which compliments the home and school by encouraging physical, social, emotional and intellectual growth and positive feelings of self-worth.
  • To provide a warm, secure environment designed to encourage decision-making, problem-solving, individual expression and freedom within limits, where children can respect and enjoy each other.
  • To provide a competent and caring professional staff who understand and meets the needs of the children.
  • To provide frequent and open communication with parents which provides support and encourages involvement.
