For families who choose a fixed EDP schedule, your child(ren) will attend the same days of the week, each week. Monthly tuition is charged in advance, regardless of attendance
For families who do not need a fixed schedule, the "drop-in" option allows your child(ren) to attend EDP on an as-needed basis. The drop-in option also allows families on fixed monthly schedules to use EDP on days when their child(ren) are not typically scheduled.
Rates listed are per child. A 10% sibling discount is applied to the second sibling on, if both children are registered on a fixed schedule.
