    Extended Day Program

    LWSD's Extended Day Program provides before and after school care for elementary students

    The Extended Day Program offered by Lake Washington School District offers high quality childcare both before and after school for elementary age students within the district. This is the only district-operated before and after school care program offered within the schools. View the Extended Day Program Handbook for additional information.

    A ratio of one Instructional Assistant for every 15 to 18 children is maintained at all of the school sites.
