Educare

SCC’s Educare is a dynamic program, open to all learners, before and after classes end each day. Educare supports learners and their families with supervised play activities that flex from physical and quiet play to creative enrichment and study skills.  Students also have the opportunity to participate in planned programs such as Mad Science and Chess. Consistent communication between Educare staff, parents, and educators creates a strong sense of community for all learners and families.

Some families will qualify for financial aid through the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program based on their income. Please reach out to Desi Smith for more information.
