Really? Which SACC is this? There are no electronic devices at our SACC unless it's a special "bring your electronics day" which happens maybe once or twice the whole school year. And they do a great job of offering a variety of things for the kids to do so they aren't bored. Sports, arts & crafts or performing arts. My kids have a great time at SACC and are always disappointed when I pick them up early.

Ew, that sucks. We're not allowed to bring personal devices to ours unless it's a teacher workday. And we often have field trips on those workdays which make the devices unnecessary anyways.

My kids didn't like Bailey's SACC, but that was during the school year.

Just got and take a look at it. I've seen good ones and bad ones. Totally depends on the staff.

Like BC and AC, did not like summer much. But, of course, summer cost is great.

We love our SACC program (Colvin Run); however, I have friends at other schools that did not like their program.

We love our school year SACC program and staff. However, my son did not like the summer program. He complain he was bored and there was a lot of downtime. He much prefers his other camp which isn’t even one of the fsncy expensive ones. As others have says though, it is very site specific

We had a great experience at Dogwood ES, and are having a similarly great experience at Sunrise Valley. The staff at our locations really seem to care about the kids, and do a good job of keeping them busy, getting outside, doing neat projects, etc.

We have a great SACC program at our school but asking about SACC is like asking about Kindercare or Bright Horizons — they’re all different and it’s site and staff dependent.

This! Maybe ask about a few schools if you don't want to out yourself! BTW, my kids love SACC at their school.

I did in Kindergarden, it was fine

Really? Do a search and you will find tons of information.
