Introduction

The Tipton County School-Age Child Care Program was established in 1989 to provide child-care to school-age children after school. The program provides care on other days when school is not is session, including, but not limited to: in-service training, holidays, and in the summer. The developmentally appropriate child-care program focuses on the needs of the children and provides a variety of hands-on and sensory learning experiences as well as tutorial programs. There is a balance between stimulating and quiet activities, free choice and teacher-directed activities, and large and small group activities.

The program is designed for children ages 5-12. Parents are responsible for registration and transportation. The hours of operations are 6:00 to 7:15 in the morning and 3:00 to 6:00 in the afternoon Monday through Friday during the school session. The hours of operation, when school is not is session, are 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The program offers a snack in the afternoon during school hours, and two snacks during full day sessions. Parents are responsible for lunch on full days, unless notified by the SACC office.

A $10.00 registration fee per family must accompany an up-dated application for enrollment. Fees are due and payable on Friday preceeding the child-care week. Parents arriving later than 6:00 p.m. for pick-up will be assessed an additional fee of $5.00 for every 15 minutes or part thereof, beginning at 6:01p.m.
