Extended Day Program
Extended Day Program at Flood Brook School
The Collaborative runs a licensed After School Program at Flood Brook School called the Extended Day Program (EDP). EDP is a 5 STARS Vermont licensed and accredited after-school program, which ensures that we have high standards for safety, staff training, and curriculum. We are accredited through 2024. Our program provides safe and reliable care in a fun and enriching environment that emphasizes social, academic, and emotional growth.
The Collaborative’s Extended Day Program (EDP) runs on any day that a regular school day is in session, from Flood Brook’s dismissal time until pick-up any time before 5:30 PM. On half days we will begin our program at 12:00 PM and run through until our regular pick-up time by 5:30 PM. In addition, we offer day camp sessions on some days when school is not in session. These days are announced throughout the school year. Tuition rates and financial assistance options are outlined in the EDP Portal. We encourage all families to apply for financial assistance.

He studied Chemistry and Theatre at Middlebury College; there he also met the woman who would become his wife, a lifelong Manchester, VT native.
