The Extended Day (11:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) program is for children who are ready for an extension of the morning work cycle. This option is offered to five and six year olds. The lead classroom teacher will discuss with the student's parents when the student is ready to begin Extended Day. The afternoon work period gives the students an opportunity to work as a smaller community and allows the lead teacher to give longer, more involved lessons. The afternoon also includes lunch and large motor activity. Lunches are brought from home, and the school provides milk and water as beverage choices during lunch. Enrichment activities include instruction in art, music and gross motor skills. This program most closely resembles Kindergarten in other schools; however, the MSW curriculum exceeds that traditional definition.
