The Butler Extended Day Program (BEDP) maintains and operates non-profit, professionally staffed before and after school programs, open to children enrolled at the Daniel Butler School, kindergarten through grade 3. BEDP's primary goal is to provide reliable, affordable before and after school care for Butler School families in an environment which is safe, stimulating and enjoyable for the children. BEDP strives to promote the social, intellectual, gross motor, fine motor and emotional skills development of the children in its programs through a variety of activities and materials. BEDP activities are designed to complement the activities of the school day. To provide an interesting variety of activities, BEDP hires teachers who not only have experience with and enthusiasm for working with school aged children but who also possess skills or talents in such areas as arts and crafts, music, drama and sports. For children in grades 2 and 3, there is a daily time in the school library for reading, study, homework and other quiet activities. BEDP works with parents in meeting their children's needs before and after school.

Families may register their children for 2 (TTh), 3 (MWF) or 5 days per week, subject to availability of your desired option for the after school program and/or before school program. Tuition is charged for both programs.

BEDP is excited to announce a capacity increase for the upcoming school year. We are now licensed for 156 children per day in the after school program.

Visits are always welcome. Please call or email, if you have any questions or would like to visit.
