Children choose activities based on their interest and skill level. Each program offers a variety of age-appropriate activities including art, craft, drama, science, indoor/outdoor games, homework opportunities and quiet time. These activities occur individually and in small or large group settings.
From year to year, we can follow each child’s progress, work closely with you and when needed work directly with classroom teachers. Staff form relationships with children, school staff, and families that develop memories that last a lifetime. Children can grow in this warm and caring environment.
Thank you for choosing Red Rocks Community College School-Age Child Care as your provider.
Guiding Philosophy
RRCC SACC program strives to create a strong personal foundation that will encourage each child to develop into a healthy, happy, responsible adult who will be an asset to our future society.
To foster this goal, RRCC SACC offers an environment that promotes high self-esteem through the learning of self-discipline, decision-making, communication, personal care skills and positive conflict management.
Regardless of physical setting or personnel there remains a consistency in behavioral expectations, which allows for an emotionally and physically safe experience. Our developmentally appropriate activities include opportunities to learn positive social skills, build friendships and express feelings.
This balanced curriculum teaches each child to be curious enough to make choices, mistakes and grow to his/her maximum potential. This program is designed to promote a fun, carefree, meaningful childhood experience through the mastery of skills and personal success.
