Are you a working parent in Lumberton or Edgewater Park seeking a safe, engaging, and affordable solution for your child’s care before and after school? The Lumberton Extended Day Care Program (EDC), now celebrating its 34th year, offers a comprehensive extended day care program designed to meet the needs of families with children from 3-year old Pre-K through grade 8. Led by experienced professionals like Mrs. Diane Solan, the EDC Coordinator, and Mrs. Jennifer Grimm, the EDC Secretary, our program prioritizes creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for your child’s holistic development.
What Makes Our Extended Day Care Program Stand Out?
At the heart of our extended day care program is a commitment to providing more than just supervision. We offer a carefully structured yet relaxed atmosphere where children can thrive through a variety of enriching activities. Imagine your child participating in exciting games that foster teamwork, engaging in creative crafts that spark imagination, enjoying athletics that promote physical well-being, and receiving dedicated homework time to support academic success. Our professional and caring staff meticulously plans and monitors all activities, ensuring a safe and positive experience for every child. Funded through parental tuition, our program focuses on accessibility and quality, offering discounted rates for families eligible for free/reduced school meals.
Extended Day Care Program Schedule for Lumberton Families
For families within the Lumberton School District, our extended day care program operates in close alignment with the school calendar. We provide both morning (AM) and afternoon (PM) sessions on all regular school days. Please note that PM EDC is not available on the half-day before Thanksgiving (Wednesday, November 27, 2024), during Winter Break (Friday, December 20, 2024), and on the last day of school (Wednesday, June 18, 2024). However, AM EDC will be offered on these dates.
Our program timings are designed for your convenience:
- Morning Session (AM EDC): Opens at 6:35 a.m. Monday through Friday on regular school days. On non-scheduled delayed-opening school days, AM EDC begins at 8:35 a.m. For scheduled delayed openings (e.g., Thursday, December 12, 2024), AM EDC starts at 7:00 a.m.
- Afternoon Session (PM EDC): Operates after school dismissal until 6:00 p.m. on regular school days.
Please be aware that the extended day care program is closed during extended holidays, full snow days, or early dismissals due to severe weather. In case of early dismissal, parents are requested to pick up their children within two hours of school closing to avoid late charges.

Similar to Lumberton, the Edgewater Park extended day care program is closed on extended holidays, full snow days, or early dismissals due to inclement weather. The two-hour pick-up window after early dismissal to avoid late charges also applies.
