Some families are looking for a 4-hour preschool experience, while others need care all-day long — and those needs can change from day-to-day. For that reason, we offer optional child care as early as 8:00 AM and as late as 5:00 PM. We call this program “ExtendedCare”.
The ExtendedCare staff consists of IPCP morning teachers who continue care during these hours, as well as additional AfterCare teachers. This setup ensures continuity for the child’s day, as well as new activities and enrichments to enhance the morning program.
IPCP’s optional ExtendedCare Program is available from 8 to 9 AM (BeforeCare) as well as 1 to 5 PM (AfterCare).
How much does ExtendedCare cost?
PrePaid Hours/Toddlers: are billed at the rate of $13.00 per hour.
PrePaid Hours/Preschoolers: are billed at the rate of $12.50 per hour.
DropIn Hours/All Children: are billed at the rate of $14.50 per hour.
(These rates are for the 2024-2025 school year.)
To prepay, parents submit an ExtendedCare Request Form by the 20th of the month prior to using these hours.
For DropIn, parents must message the program managers in advance to ensure availability.
