Extended Day + Childcare

7:00-8:00 A.M. – BEFORE CARE

Pre-Kindergarten – 4^th Grade Students

• New this year, Before Care is completely free-of-charge!

• Before Care begins on Wednesday, August 23.

• Students will be accepted in the Dining Hall starting at 7:00 a.m., and will be allowed to transition to their classrooms starting at 7:50 a.m.  Lower School students on campus prior to 7:50 a.m. – who do not have a pre-arranged appointment with a teacher or staff member – need to be in the Dining Hall.

• Before Care closes at 8:00 a.m.  At that time, all students must transition to their classrooms.

• New this year, TED staff supervises the entire Dining Hall during this hour, including students in other divisions who may be enjoying breakfast with friends.  Therefore – whereas we will place special focus on our Lower School students – our purview during this time is broader.

 

2:30-3:30 P.M. – PREK HOUR (starting Tuesday, September 5)

Pre-Kindergarten Students

• PreKindergarten dismisses at 2:30 each day, compared to 3:30 for all other grade levels.

• If childcare during this hour is needed, it is highly encouraged that you register for the full-year option so that your child has a consistent daily schedule from week to week.

• Full-year fees are $900 / year.

• Drop-in fees are $2.50 / 15 minutes (equivalent to $10 / hour, but you only pay by the 15-minute block).
