The JED Program
and Values Janney
Extended Day provides students with a structured and stimulating environment during the after school hours. The afternoon program’s regular hours are from 3:15 to 6:00 p.m., with extended care available until 6:30 p.m. for an additional fee when needed. Each day offers both routine and choice: students enjoy snack, afternoon
meeting, and outdoor play or indoor recreation with the same small group of students daily. JED students can take advantage
of the enrichment activities offered by Janney Elementary, complete their homework in a quiet classroom staffed by Janney
and JED employees, and enjoy structured center/game time within mixed-age small groups. JED also offers art experiences for
all age groups and the opportunity to play team sports in a relaxed environment. Offering choices within structure allow students
to try new activities and broaden horizions while remaining safe and supervised.
What’s
unique and wonderful about JED is that it offers students a chance to interact and to forge relationships with caring adults
in a non‑school setting. Many of the younger children love getting to know and making friends with older kids they see
every day at school. They also love JED’s field trips, holiday parties, and special events – the annual JED Fashion
and Talent Show is always a big hit! All of the activities and
events are guided by JED's core values, which are: - Safe, affordable, dependable child care
- Respectful, relaxed, caring culture
- A broad range of stimulating activities that lets kids be kids
- Fostering and extending
the educational priorities of Janney
- Financial self-sufficiency
- Transparency
in policies and finances
- Community and child-focused
We have found JED to be a wonderful place for our children. We
are committed to enhancing and advancing the program to exemplify these values and serve Janney's children well.
We hope you
will consider JED as an option for meeting your child care and after-school needs.
Sincerely,
Parent Board of Janney Extended Day Alan Burch, Chair Amanda Barlow, Vice-Chair Keith Cunningham,
