1. MISSION STATEMENT: The Extended Day Program furthers the mission of Midtown
West as a school that supports children and their families. The primary goal of the
program is to provide child-care for working families. A strong sense of continuity for our
children is maintained as they move from the school day into the after school hours by
using the Midtown West facility and staff members whenever possible and to provide
high quality activities that stimulate children intellectually, socially, and physically, in a
safe, nurturing environment.
2. REGISTRATION: Registration for the school year takes place over the summer.
Applications are available each June (for the school year starting in September) and
should be returned no later than the first Friday in August. A complete registration
packet must include all the required forms and full payment. Children will not be
registered in classes with incomplete registrations packets. Classes fill up on a “first
come, first served” basis and may be canceled if under enrolled. Late registrants
returning applications after the August deadline will be charged a $120 registration fee.
Late admittance will be based upon availability and children will begin the program on
October 1st. For ongoing registration throughout the school year, registration forms
must be received by the 15th of the month in order to start the program at the beginning
of the next month. Families must expect a processing time of two weeks. Children will
not begin the program in the middle of a month. An annual registration fee, the first
month’s tuition and a non- refundable deposit (held as the last month’s tuition) are due
upon registration. Special Fee Class payments for Violin and cello are also due at
registration.
3. PROGRAM FEES - PAYMENTS: Fees are calculated based on the yearly program
costs and pro-rated for the 10 month program. The registration fee and the first and last
month tuition payments are due at registration. Invoices are emailed to families at the
beginning of each month. Monthly tuition payments are due the first of each month
(whether you have received your bill or not.) If you do not receive your emailed invoice
at the beginning of the month please contact the office to confirm your email address. If
the first of the month falls on a weekend, payment will then be due the first day back at
school. If payment is not received by the tenth of the month, a $20.00 late fee will be
charged. Your account must remain current each month or your child will not be allowed
to remain in the program. A $40.00 charge will be added for returned checks. Invoices
for each new month are emailed to families.
We ask that families do not drop days from their schedule until the January “Free
Change” period (see details below.) There will be a $15 change fee for any requested
changes - to add days or to change into other activities. The change request form must
be submitted by the 15th of the month in order for the change to go into effect by the
beginning of the following month. Families dropping out of the program must provide
written notice one month in advance. Deposits are non-refundable but can be applied to
your last month’s tuition with one month’s written notice.
4. SCHOLARSHIPS: There are a limited number of half price scholarships available to
qualifying families. Determination will be based upon income and family circumstances.
Applications are included in the registration packet and available in the Extended Day
office and on the MTW website. Forms must be completed and submitted to the MTW
Extended Day Coordinator. Scholarships do not cover the $80 yearly Registration Fee,
Special Fee classes (Violin or Cello) or any of the camps. The Registration fee must be
included with your scholarship application along with all other registration forms.
5. SPECIAL FEE CLASSES: Special fee classes, Violin & Cello, are charged in
addition to your regular Extended Day tuition. If you register for one of the Special Fee
Classes you must pay the full amount at the beginning of the semester (in September &
February). These additional charges relate only to the Special Fee Classes (Violin or
Cello). Please note: charges for Special Fee Classes are non-refundable. Once you
commit to these classes there will be no make-up classes or refunds for missed
classes. Your monthly tuition covers the cost of the Extended Day Program for the rest
of the day.
6. DAILY SCHEDULED ACTIVITIES: The Extended Day Program at Midtown West
offers a rich variety of fun activities for all grade levels at a reasonable cost. See the
Activity Schedule for a full range of current activities. Our talented staff includes many of
our own Midtown West teachers and other NYC professionals. At times, classes may be
canceled due to unforeseen changes in teachers’ schedules or for other reasons
beyond our control. It is not always possible to notify families in advance of such
changes and children will be moved into unstructured play activities on those
afternoons. Most activities are scheduled in one hour periods, although some class
times may vary (see the Activity Schedule for details.)
The Daily Schedule:
3:00-3:30 Children check-in for attendance in the cafeteria and are given a
snack. Children eat their snack at designated tables based on their scheduled

activities throughout the full day during the first semester and join inter-aged activities
for the second session each day beginning in February. Kindergarten families will
