The Mission of the Schriever Space Force Base School Age Care Program (SAC) is to provide a safe and healthy environment for youth that is both educationally and recreationally enriching to their lives. Our goal is to promote creative, cognitive, personal, physical and social development. We provide care for youth ages 5 -12 for active duty military personnel, contractors and DoD civilian families.
Program Philosophy
The SAC program offers a variety of activities designed to enable youth to reach their full potential and to become productive, caring and responsible adults. Youth have the right to be heard, listened to, and influence their choices and decisions. Their individual abilities, interests and needs guide the curriculum and activities. We support children’s individuality while promoting a sense of community and teamwork.
Program Goals
The SAC Program develops the Five Core Values for youth.
- Character and Leadership Development
- The Arts

The curriculum and activities are developed to support these goals through developing skills in the following areas:
- Foster a sense of positive identity and sense of well-being
- Enhance and develop social skills
- Encourage youth to think, reason, question and experiment
- Promote literacy development
- Build and enhance physical development skills
- Support sound health, safety and nutritional practices and skills
- Advanced creative expression, appreciation and practice of fine arts
