Extended Day Program
The Extended Day Program at the Saratoga Independent School is designed to
provide the convenience of an on-site after care program that meets the child
care needs of our families.
The purpose of the program is to provide a physically safe and emotionally
secure environment where children can enjoy socialization, recreation, and
intellectual stimulation. Parents may enroll their child on a regular basis
or take advantage of our drop-in option for occasional care. The extended
day program will also provide care for children whose parent is delayed in
picking their child up at 3:00pm dismissal time.
