SCDC contracts with many area elementary schools to provide before and after school programs to continue learning and fun activities outside of the regular school day.  Our programs feature a series of activities that change throughout the year, featuring STEM curriculum. Activities rotate throughout the year so children stay engaged at their varying levels of development.

All school age programs adhere to a 1:15 teacher to child ratio. 

​

Hours

School sites are open from 6:45 am until school start time, and begin again after school until 6:00 pm.  We do provide care on most non-school days, details are available on our calendars.

​

Activities

Each new day brings a new adventure!  Each site director has the ability to be creative and dynamic to meet their site's particular needs, examples of common activities include: art projects, board games, card games, group activity games, outside playtime, science experiments and much more!
