Extended Day JK                                     (M/T/W/TH 11:15 am - 1:15 pm)
All JK students are eligible to participate in this unique program that offers continued curriculum as well as a shared lunch experience with your student's teachers and peers four days a week! The extended day option provides further Kindergarten preparedness at an excellent value. At roughly the same cost as two, full-year enrichment electives, your student will attend school until 1:15 pm, Monday - Thursday, to solidify new skills and provide a smoother transition into a longer day at Kindergarten.

Enrollment Priorities
We hope to accommodate all families who wish to enroll their children in our classes. If a class has more applications than spaces, placement is prioritized as follows:
1. Children whose parents are WCNS Board or staff members (including Honorary Board members)
2. Children currently enrolled at WCNS or siblings of children currently enrolled at WCNS
3.    Children whose siblings were formerly enrolled at WCNS (must have completed both 3's & JK, otherwise considered a New Family)
5. All children applying for registration (New Families)

Tuition Schedule and Policies
All tuition payments are non-transferable and non-refundable.
Total yearly tuition is due in two installments. 1st installment on February 5, 2025 and 2nd installment on April 11, 2025. Extended Day Tuition must be paid by June 13, 2025. Invoices will be sent to the email provided on the application.
Tuition is due in full for any applicant who registers after April 11, 2025.

We reserve the right to cancel or change class offerings at any time.
