2021 - 2022 Orange County School Age Child Care (OCSACC) Program
The Office on Youth currently operates the Orange County School Age Child Care (OCSACC) program. There are four childcare locations: Gordon - Barbour Elementary School (GBES), Lightfoot Elementary School (LES), Locust Grove Primary School (LGPS), and Orange Elementary School (OES). All four sites are licensed by the Department of Education and require numerous activities each day including: daily snack, gross motor skills activities, small motor skill activities (arts & crafts, board games, etc.), music, and time to complete homework. A quarter of the childcare time is required to involve gross motor skills activities. Three of the four (GBES, OES, and LES) are licensed to care for 50 children and the fourth (LGPS) is licensed for
up to 65 children. The LES site cares for the UES and LES children, as well as any age - appropriate middle school kids that live in that district. LGPS cares for children from LGPS, LGES, and age appropriate LGMS students. OES and GBES care for their students and any age - appropriate middle school students in that respective district. There are buses that can provide transportation and parents are encouraged to contact the bus garage to determine the appropriate bus number based on their individual needs. All staff is required to be certified in standard first aid and infant/child/adult CPR and are trained on signs of child abuse and neglect and how to recognize if a child is ill. Staff is required to complete at least 20 hours of related training each calendar year. Per licensing regulations, all staff undergo a fingerprint background check, Central Registry Check, and Sex Offender Registry check every 5 years. In addition to being on open Monday through Friday, childcare locations are open on teacher workdays and many days over the holiday breaks. Below is a list of facility hours by location:
Gordon Barbour Elementary School: 6:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
