Possible
"I believe our children should have the best care and education possible during the school
day and after the school day"
'possible' is an adjective. and I thought the place of the underline is not the right place for
adjective.
I don't undersand why the word 'possible' are there in above sentence.
Is something omitted between 'education' and 'possible'? please help me to solve this
problem.
thank you in advance

You can consider it an adjective that can either pre- or post-modify (and there are others), or you can consider it a verbless clause ('the best care and education [that is] possible'). In either case, it correctly modifies those nouns.
