School Age Programs

School-Age Care (SAC) programs are offered for children ages 5-12. Programs are designed to meet community needs, reinforce family values, and promote the cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development of children. SAC programs are accredited by the Council of Accreditation (COA).

About Us

School age children are separated by age into two categories: primary (ages 5-8) and pre-teen (ages 9-12). Daily activities feature age appropriate activities including art, science, drama, outdoor play, homework time, and more.

Childcare Options

School-Age Care offers several different options:

  • Before School Care

  • Hourly Care

Also, during spring, summer and winter breaks, full time care is available and includes a variety of activities and fields trip.

Special Needs

The School-Age Care program welcomes students with special needs (medical/developmental). Prior to enrollment, forms must completed before beginning care. Stop by the School-Age Care center to pick up all necessary forms.
