Extended Day Kindergarden Program
The Extended Day Kindergarten Program, which provides wraparound child care for the half day kindergarten sessions, is open to all children enrolled in the Haddonfield Public School kindergartens. HCC is a private, non-profit organization, which works cooperatively with the public schools to provide care for working families. The program is tuition based, with a yearly fee divided into ten equal monthly installments. Tuition is billed in advance, and based on the registered schedule of attendance.
Care is available as early as 7:30 a.m., and as late as 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, on days when school is in session. The EDKP is housed at Central School, with transportation provided to or from J. F. Tatem and Elizabeth Haddon kindergartens.
The EDKP is licensed by the State of NJ, and meets or exceeds all programmatic, staffing, and safety standards set by the licensing agency. The program, which has been in operation since 1986, is designed to complement the kindergarten curriculum with developmentally appropriate activities including arts, literature, and physical activity.
After January 28, registration for EDKP must be done in person at the HCC Office, located in Room B105 at Haddonfield High School. Please note that mail or internet registration will not be accepted for EDKP.
To assist parents with additional questions, HCC Staff will participate in the public school Kindergarten information night. Further information about EDKP may also be obtained by calling the HCC Office at 429-1603.
