The School Age Care (SAC) program is a nationally accredited child care service for children ages Kindergarten -12yrs, needing care and transportation before and after school.

The MCCS SAC Program is accredited through the Council on Accreditation (COA). The program instills a sense of belonging, usefulness, influence, and competence by providing young people with caring and fun age appropriate, well-rounded programming. The Youth & Teen Center is affiliated with the Boys and Girls Club of America (BGCA) and focus on the core areas of Character & Leadership, Education and Career Development, Health and Life Skills, The Arts, Sports/Fitness/Recreation, and Technology.

SAC provides care for children ages Kindergarten-12 years of age and provides transportation to and from select schools (Mason/Hage/Miramar Ranch Elementary and Wangenheim & Thurgood Marshall Middle Schools).

If requesting Before/After care for your child(ren) and they do not attend the select schools listed, childcare may be offered during school-out Camp Programs only. SAC program times will be based on the San Diego Unified School District schools (Traditional) schedules. Surrounding county schools may not coincide for “No School Days” and Seasonal Breaks, therefore we would not be able to provide care for those outer district children.
