Description: Our School-Age Child Care (SACC) Program serves children in all of the Elementary schools for the South Orange/Maplewood School District and follows the School District’s School Calendar. Our programs do not run when the schools close for inclement weather or other school emergencies. Our YMCA does offer a Child Care program called “Vacation Camp” for most of the days that the school district is scheduled to be closed.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
