Who supervises my child?<br />
Each <strong>EDC</strong> location has a number of qualified<br />
aides, as well as one on-site supervisor. Most<br />

and site supervisor, and the same afternoon aides<br />
and site supervisor. All staff are CPR- and First<br />
Aid-certified<br />
Does my child need to go to <strong>EDC</strong> every<br />
day in order to be eligible to attend?<br />

week, a few days during the week, or a few<br />
