The Extended Day Care (EDC) Program at The Pen Ryn School is designed to provide a high quality, state licensed, after school program as a service for our enrolled families. The main focus of our program is to provide a safe, nurturing and enjoyable environment in the hours after the school day has ended.

The Extended Day Program is offered for Nursery through 8th grades from 7:00 to 8:00 AM and 3:30 to 6:00 PM each day that school is in session.

Because the school day is demanding, our aim is to provide time in the afternoon for the children to unwind, visit with friends, participate in physical and age appropriate activities, and to complete their homework. The EDC Program begins in the cafeteria where the children are checked in and snacks provided. They then socialize with friends on the playground or the black top in good weather. On days that keep us indoors, the gym and/or cafeteria areas are utilized. We also have a variety of games, activities, and movies to keep the children engaged.

The Extended Day Program follows our school philosophy. This consistency increases the comfort level of the children. The children under our care are always closely supervised by our trained and competent staff. The staff consists of a director, teachers, and assistants who are all part of the Pen Ryn family. Their presence in the school on a regular basis provides familiarity and continuity with the children. 

We encourage all students who participate in any after school activity such as tutoring, enrichment sessions, clubs, or sports teams to be registered in the Extended Day Care Program so that the EDC Program can safely monitor the children after their school events have ended.
