PROGRAM INFORMATION

Branford School Aged Child Care (SACC) provides a quality child care program that is accessible to families before and after school hours.  

  • The SACC Program operates Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM.  Our program covers the minimum days without additional fees.

  • The program is designed to accommodate grades Pre-K through grade 6.

  • A summer camp is available for children that have completed kindergarten through grade 5.

  • We currently accept Child Care Aware of America for our military families.

  • Children enrolled must attend Branford Public Schools.

All paperwork and payments must be submitted to the SACC office (12 Melrose Ave, Branford).  Our phone number is 203-481-5066.  Payments must be made in the form of a check or money order ONLY made out to SACC.  Cash will not be accepted.  No payments will be accepted at the sites.  For billing purposes, all program changes will go into effect the 1st of the following month.

Since the SACC Program is part of Branford Public Schools, we will follow all notifications made by the School District regarding delays, dismissals, and closings.  We will NOT make separate notifications specifically for SACC, or contact families individually.  Please be sure to have a backup plan in place with your child's school for early dismissal days.  We also follow the District's schedule for delayed openings for our Before School Programs.
