Educare
Educare is the before and after school program at SCC. Educare was created when SCC opened and has become an integral part of the school. The vision of Educare is to create a learning environment where learners feel physically and emotionally safe and supported to explore their world.
Through experiential learning, Educare imparts life skills and principles such as cooperation, responsibility, respect, courage, and self-discovery. Educare provides dawn-to-dusk learning opportunities, enabling continuous development and education. Consistent communication between Educare staff, parents, and educators creates a strong sense of community for all learners and families.
Some families will qualify for financial aid through the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program based on their income. Please reach out to Desi Smith (dsmith@scclc.net) for more information.
