Extended Day

After-School Programs Age-Appropriate Activities Beyond the School Day

Extended Day

Harford Day School’s Extended Day Program offers a safe, engaging, and developmentally appropriate environment for students from dismissal until 5:30 p.m. on regular school days and most early dismissal days throughout the academic year.

We group students by age to deliver programming that supports their developmental needs. Preschool students enjoy Extended Day in the Preschool Building, with access to age-appropriate playgrounds. The afternoon includes time for a snack brought from home, outdoor or indoor play, and occasional crafts or structured activities. Students in Kindergarten through 8th Grade gather in the Middle School Building. After enjoying a snack from home, they may choose from various activities, including outdoor play on the playground and fields (weather and staff permitting), recreational time in the Multi-purpose Room, or quiet indoor options such as reading, studying, or games.

All Extended Day students are picked up from the Preschool Building.
