[quote=Anonymous]Most of the older kids leave SACC when they can latch key it.  And I expect more to leave now that they raised the SACC price and removed Mondays early dismissal (SACC price went up before the county removed monday dismissal).

Each SACC is different, but my school had the big kids and the little kids separated most of the time. My school also has a special program that causes lots of pupil placement, so I think older kids stayed longer.  I think there were six 6th graders this year.  They kinda stayed away from the little kids.

My 6th grader left because of graduation. I have told my rising 3rd grader that he will go to SACC till 6th grade just like his brother (we have no transportation.  However, I kinda expect stuff to change when I have a high school student and an elementary age kid).  It was a sad day with the director who had known him for all 6 years.

I stay at SACC, because that is how my kids can do the afterschool activities that the PTA runs like drama, runfitkids and other such events. My oldest never did homework (actually he just never did homework - got it all done in class).  My youngest doesn't like to do it at SACC, so we do it at home. We've got an IEP, so I like to see what is going on.

My oldest is an introvert and he did fine.  My youngest is a politician and knows everyone's name in SACC and is always running into parents and kids and saying hello at the grocery store. (There is one mom who my son hugs goodbye at Sacc - I don't get a goodbye hug at SACC!)

You'll enjoy SACC.  I had a nanny for my youngest, but kept SACC for my oldest, just to make all that nanny drama easier. (The nanny also drove to therapy and stuff, so schedule wise, she couldn't have had two, but sick days and snow days - I only had one to beg off to g'ma or elsewhere!)[/quote]
