Extended Learning
We know families need reliable, enriching options for their children before and after the school day — and all year long.
MNPS offers a variety of extended learning programs that support academic growth, spark creativity, and provide a safe, welcoming space for students outside of regular school hours.
Whether you're looking for before- or after-school care, summer opportunities, or Pre-K options, we’re here to help you find a program that fits your family’s needs.
Before and Aftercare Options
The Office of Extended Learning runs programs in schools across the district and also partners with external providers who deliver out-of-school-time programs during the school year and summer.
Information on all the programs available to your family can be found on our Before and Afterschool Programs page and our Extended Learning Partners page.
