The Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS) sponsors the School Age Child Care (SACC) program at many
Prince William County Elementary Schools. The program offers adult-supervised, high-quality, affordable before and
after school care at participating schools. The School Age Child Care program, a self-supporting division within the
Office of Student Services, awards contracts to private child-care providers for the operation of the program. It provides
a safe and familiar setting which meets the needs of our SACC families.

School age children grow and flourish in child care programs that accommodate and contribute to their own unique
emotional, social, creative and physical growth. Our program offers activities and experiences that foster a positive selfconcept and a sense of independence by making the children part of the daily planning process.
Throughout the program, adults guide social interaction, conflict resolution, and involvement in activities rather than
direct or instruct. They help school age children by providing new experiences, offering suggestions, and providing
encouragement and recognition of effort as well as recognition of accomplishment.
