Description of Programs
Dear Parents / Guardians,
Welcome to the Northborough Extended Day Program (NEDP). Our private, non – profit organization provides After School Care for children in Kindergarten through Grade 5 in each of the four public elementary schools. Presently, Before School Care is offered at two of the four schools, which is housed at Lincoln Street School and Peaslee School. Children who attend Zeh and Proctor Schools will be bussed to them from the before school care program.
NEDP, Inc. has been in operation since September, 1987 and is governed by the NEDP, Inc. Board of Directors, which is comprised of dedicated parents and community members. In addition we are fortunate to have the support of the Town of Northborough. NEDP, Inc. provides care for approximately 250 children and serves an important need for parents in the community who may be working or seeking a social and play environment for their school-aged child.
Our programs are licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care (EEC). Our staff is chosen for their knowledge and experience in working with elementary school – aged children. Staff is trained in CPR, First Aid and participates in educational trainings throughout the school year to enhance all aspects of the programming.
The NEDP, Inc. programs provide a supervised safe and nurturing environment where children can socialize with their peers, engage in “Fun” and enriching activities and participate in recreational programming. In addition, time is set aside each day for children to do their homework. Meeting the needs of children during out of school time affords parents and guardians “peace of mind” knowing that their child is being well cared for.
We strive for excellence in providing positive experiences within all aspects of our organization. We place a high value on communication to ensure the success of our family participants. We welcome and value your input as we continue to provide our community with the highest quality school-aged before and after school childcare.
We look forward to continuing the valuable service we provide and the relationships that are formed with the families that support NEDP, Inc.
Sincerely,
Kim Allore
Executive Director, NEDP, Inc.
