Extended Day Program
Who We Are; What We Do
The Extended Day Program, which includes the middle school Check-In programs, is operated by Arlington Public Schools to provide a safe and fun environment for children whose parents are working, in school, or incapacitated.
The Extended Day Program, which operates at each elementary and middle school (except H-B Woodlawn) and the Stratford Program, is self regulated and meets or exceeds Virginia State Licensing Standards.
Extended Day programs in the elementary schools operate before and after each regularly-scheduled school day and in conjunction with summer school. The middle school Check-In programs do not have a before-school component, but operate after each regularly-scheduled school day. Check-In programs do not operate during the summer
This is a fee for service progam.
