The SPUSD Extended Day Program is designed to provide working parents with school-based childcare services. SPUSD's programs provide a safe and nurturing environment that supports the developmental, social-emotional, and physical needs of all students. SPUSD offers KinderCare for children in grades TK-K, early morning care for children in grades TK-5th, and Summer Camp for children in grades TK-8th grade.

KinderCare (TK/K) Program

KinderCare is designed for students in transitional kindergarten and kindergarten who need additional care during the day when school is not in session. Two separate morning and afternoon KinderCare sessions run from 8:15 a.m. - 11:35 a.m. and 11:35 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. daily. KinderCare students participate in circle time, recess, a daily activity, snack, and lunch.

KinderCare sign-ups for 2026-2027 will open via google form beginning Monday, January 26, 2026, and end on April 30, 2026.

Early Morning Care

SPUSD Extended Day offers parents an hour of early morning care to bridge the gap from 7:00 a.m. - 8:00 a.m. when school or KinderCare begins. This is available for grades TK-5 grade only at the elementary schools.

Summer Camp

SPUSD Extended Day also runs a Summer Camp program for incoming Transitional Kindergarten through incoming 8th grade students. Typically, the program starts the Monday after school is dismissed for summer and runs for eight weeks from 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Enrollment for the program is open to all SPUSD students as well as students who are not enrolled in South Pasadena Unified schools.
