EXTENDED EDUCATION

PARENT RESOURCES

The White Birch Center for Extended Education extends the care and learning before and after the school day and during school break. Like our Early Learning program, the White Birch Extended Education philosophy is that child care must be more than watching and feeding children. Education plays an important role in our programming.
