The Extended Day Program is a quality after school program sponsored by Lake Ridge Academy for its students in kindergarten through grade five. The hours are from 3:30 until 6:00. The program is staffed by qualified, experienced teachers whose goal is to provide reliable and responsible after school care in a safe, nurturing family atmosphere. Children enrolled in this program can look forward to relaxing afternoons with enriching, pleasurable experiences.

Following their day at school, the children are given a nutritious snack and have time for play indoors and out with their friends. They are given a variety of games and projects from which to choose.

Children participating in Extended Day are often divided into small groups, according to their ages, to foster social interaction. Children with daily homework have the opportunity to complete school assignments with adult guidance and supervision.

The children, together with the staff, occasionally attend athletic events on campus where they learn the rules of the games, become interested in sports and develop a sense of school spirit.
