School Age Children

The School Age Child Care (SACC) program provides a before and after school care for kindergarten through third grade children. The resourceful, caring staff recognize the importance of adults in children’s lives and of peer friendships. The staff give positive guidance to the children and help foster self control. Children are encouraged to learn by experimenting and exploring. Children are encouraged to try new challenges without pressure. Healthy competition is encouraged as is appropriate with older school-age children, but cooperation is emphasized. The staff teach the importance of safety with each other and equipment. Community awareness is also an important part of the SACC program.
