Extended Day Program

The morning program begins at 7:00 a.m. and lasts until school starts. The afternoon program begins directly after school and ends at 6:00 p.m. An afternoon snack and drink are provided. The Extended Day Program follows the school calendar; therefore, when school is not in session, Extended Day will be closed as well. Each location is staffed with a Site Coordinator and one or two assistants. The adult/child ratio will not 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 permits. The staff at Extended Day takes great pride in providing a safe and caring atmosphere in which children enjoy various activities.

• 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 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 meet the needs of the children.

• To provide frequent, open communication with parents, which provides support and encourages involvement.

Once you have been notified that your student is able to attend EDP, you will receive notification of your EDP fees for the year and that amount will be added as a school fee.  The first monthly fee must be paid before your child attends the program. Monthly fees are to be prepaid on the first of the month. A payment schedule is listed below for your convenience. Any fees not paid by 6:00 p.m. on the day that they are due will be assessed a $30.00 late fee. Delinquent fees may jeopardize your child’s place in the program (See parent handbook). It is preferable that payments be made through PaySchools Central online payments.  Please visit our website (PaySchools Online Payments) to register for a PaySchools account.  There is a small fee for this process.  In cases where payments cannot be made with PaySchools Central, a money order payable to Groveport Madison Schools or cash in the exact amount will be accepted. Personal checks will not be accepted.  Refunds are not given for part-time, absent, or emergency closing days.

If your child attends only one or two days during a given week, but you need to reserve three or more days in a week to accommodate different schedules, you will be charged the full amount (AM, PM or both AM and PM)  since the spots are reserved for your child. We often have a waiting list, so it's not possible to pay for just two days while reserving additional days in the week.
