FLEXIBLE PROGRAMMING

We understand the varying schedules of parents, along with the need to transition children into structured routines at a comfortable pace. We offer flexible scheduling, where students can attend a minimum of 2 half-days or up to 5  full days.

Students attending early intervention programs for 3-5 years old have very fluid school schedules with several long breaks throughout the year; our program accommodates these schedules for all enrolled students.

 We follow the Upper Darby School District closing schedule for holidays and inclement weather (#452).
