Lexington Extended Day After-School Child Care

The Extended Day Programs are a tuition-supported, parent-run organization which provides after school child care for Lexington youngsters of elementary school age. No distinction is made on the basis of race, religion, cultural heritage or handicaps nor on the political beliefs or marital status of a child' s parents. Its purpose is to provide a safe, supportive environment for children who require care during the period between school dismissal and 6: 00 p. m.

All Lexington extended programs are the result of group efforts by parents who value quality child care and recognize the need for such in Lexington.

It operates during the school year from 3: 15- 6: 00 p. m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and from 12: 00- 6: 00 p. m. on Thursdays.
