Extended Day Program Overview
Panther Club for PreKindergarten
PreK Panther Club is a DHS licensed, safe and nurturing before and after school program in which children are allowed choices in play areas, arts and crafts, as well as large muscle activities and games. The cost for care starting at 7:30 AM and ending at 5:30 PM is included in the cost of tuition for PreK.
The PreK Panther Club attendance roster is generated each day. Please inform your child’s teacher if your child should stay for PreK Panther Club that day and your child will be added to the attendance list. This helps us make sure we are staffed to remain in ratio at all times. PreK Panther is available on non-school days for an additional charge. Parents must register in advance if childcare is needed non-school days.
