Extended Care Program

The Extended Care program is provided to assist RFS parents/guardians with child care. The guidelines are listed below. Please note: COVID -19 has caused us to adjust extended care availability. Please call RFS at 765-966-5767 to learn more about current offerings.

Morning Care begins at 7:45 a.m. and ends at 8:30 a.m. It is a necessary safety measure that children are walked into Morning Care by their parents and contact is made with a caregiver.
After Care begins at 3:00 p.m. and ends at 5:30 p.m. Children enrolled in After Care must be picked up by 5:30 p.m.; a $25 fee will be assessed for all children left after 5:30.
Parents must sign their children in (for Before Care) and out (for After Care).
Extended Care is based on the RFS School Calendar and not on the Richmond Community School calendar.
Please turn in monthly calendars to inform our Extended Care manager of the times and days your child will be in Extended Care so that adequate supplies and preparations can be made.
Parents need to notify the school of any changes in use of Extended Care. A 24-hour notice is required unless it is a genuine emergency.
The cost of Extended Care is $3.50 per hour and per child. Extended care fees will be added to monthly invoices.

“We needed an opportunity to give our daughter a healthy environment to grow, and RFS aligns with our values. Lucy has built a lot of confidence and friendships at school, and we love that she gets to interact with younger kids which wouldn't be possible in a traditional school setting.”

- The Burkhardt Family

“With strong academics, hands-on learning, and high-level thinking, RFS's project-based approach acknowledges who the child is - what their strengths are, how to help them, and character-building that stems from Quaker principles. RFS has molded Ezra's passion for nature into a strength and helped him develop his compassionate personality.”

- The Sizelove Family

"The teachers at RFS are able to give so much attention to individual students, so they don't get lost in the crowd of a large class. I love that Garret feels safe trying things that he may be initially uncomfortable or nervous about."

- The Kirk Family

"Before enrolling here, Tristan struggled with dyslexia, which caused him to fall behind in reading. Thanks to the kind teachers and kids at RFS, Tristan is now reading at grade level and is beginning to enjoy it. He loves coming to school in the morning!"
