Mayor Parker’s Extended Day/Extended Year (EDEY) initiative includes 30 district-run schools and 10 charter schools. EDEY schools provide free:

• Before and after school care
• Enhanced enrichment
• Winter break camp
• Spring break camp
• Six weeks of summer camp

Students must be registered for each program individually to participate.

EDEY schools support the well-being of students and their families. They offer:

• Safe, fun, and engaging learning environments.
• Opportunities for students to explore their interests and develop skills critical to success.
• Help for parents and caregivers who have work or other obligations that extend beyond the regular school day.

The Mayor's Office of Education partners with the Office of Children and Families, the School District of Philadelphia, and participating charter schools to offer this program. It is jointly funded by the City and the school district.
