Extended Day

Before and After Hours are supervised playtimes from 7:00 AM-8:00 AM and 3:30-6:00 PM every school day. A snack is included in the afternoon program. CDS students look forward to the opportunity to play board games, use the playground and gym for four-square and other games, and read.　 The older children are also given time and space to complete homework if they have it.　 　

Off-Day Camp

The Off Day Camp program is available for the Conference Days and the Faculty In-Service days as well as occasional half-day dismissals during the academic year. Children play board games, do arts and crafts, play kickball, play four-square, use the playground, and have access to the library and educational computer games.  For fee information visit the CDS Tuition and Fees page.
