OCPS Extended Day Enrichment Program
The Extended Day Enrichment Program offers supervision and a variety of enrichment activities for children in kindergarten through 5th grade. The program is fee-supported by those using its services. Daily activities include homework time, structured supervised free play, art, drama, crafts, music, dance and organized team games.
Safety
Children in the program are carefully supervised. Parents or guardians are expected to sign their children in and out of the Extended Day Enrichment Program. Children are released to persons authorized in writing on the registration form on file with the program. Persons not recognized by the staff will be asked to show identification. Special instructions pertaining to a child’s care should be given in writing to the program coordinator. Each Extended Day Enrichment Program has a telephone and voice mail for emergency communication.
Hours of Operation
Standard hours of operation are 7 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The program operates every day that school is in regular session.
Fees
The fee schedule for the Extended Day Enrichment Program is uniform throughout the district. Fees are approved by the School Board of Orange County. An annual registration fee of $10 is required. A refundable deposit equal to two weeks' tuition is required for each student at the time of registration. All fees are weekly whether the child attends full time or part time. Credit cannot be given for absences. If a child is absent for a full week, no charge will be made for that week. Check with the site coordinator concerning payment dates and deadlines.
Financial aid is available through the OCPS scholarship program. More information is available from the program coordinator.
A student will be withdrawn from the program for nonpayment of tuition. The Florida-State Constitution (Article VII, Section 10) requires tuition to be paid in advance. Late pick-up fees will be charged at the rate of $40 per hour in 15 minute intervals.
Habitual tardiness in pick-up of children will result in dismissal from the program.
