Extended Day Program

Our extended day program combines to become a multi-age program either outside or in the library in the midafternoon. Children who stay for the extended day will have the opportunity to learn valuable social, mathematical, and language skills through free choice building, arts, dramatic play, and reading activities. 

Lead Teacher - Marla Ponce

Hi, My name is Margaret. I like to be called Marla. I moved to Tucson with my two cats Kip and Henry in the fall of 2022 from Dallas, Texas. I have worked with children and families since I was in high school. I have an A.A.S. in Child Development and a B.S. in Human Development and Family Studies. I have always considered Tucson my home away from home. I have been visiting Tucson since I was a child and love the people and the weather in Southern AZ. My hobbies include baking, horseback riding,
origami and traveling.
