The Extended Care Program at The Hockessin Montessori School offers separate opportunities for children. The Before School Care Program begins at 7:00am and ends at the appropriate start time for each child's academic day. The After School Care Program begins at the conclusion of the Academic school day and is available until either 5:00 or 6:00pm depending upon the needs of the family. Drop-In Care is available for parents on an "as needed" basis in both the Before School Care and After School Care Programs. Parents need only call the school during the day to request placement of a child into either of these programs. The Vacation Care Program is offered on non-holiday days when classes are not in session. The program is offered from 7:00am-6:00pm.
