The Heath Extended Day Program  (HEDP) is committed to providing quality childcare for Heath School children ages 4-13.  The objective of the program is to contribute to the social, emotional, and cognitive growth of children in an environment that is safe and nurturing.  The curriculum is developed by the programís staff and seeks to incorporate the children's interests as well as foster the growth of each child at his/her own developmental level.  Through activities that are enjoyable and enriching, the program seeks opportunities for exploring individual interests, educational enhancement, developing independence and self-confidence, and enjoying and forming friendships. Experiences that take advantage of the programís resources, including the expertise of staff, parents, and children, as well as the considerable resources of the Boston area, are encouraged.  The staff supports the participation of each child, so that all children may benefit as fully as possible from the program.
