• Center Programs - School Age
Our School Age Child Care (SACC) program is for children in kindergarten through 12 years old. NCDC believes that a quality SACC program needs to be full of free choice opportunities as a way to off-set their structured school day.
 From 6:30 - 8:15, the children are allowed to choose activities at their discretion before the Oxford School District transportation department picks them up to transport them to their school. The children are always supervised by an adult at the pick-up / drop off location. After school, centers are set up to give children choices in their "out of school" time, but to still offer ample opportunities to keep busy. The children have a wide range of activities, from cooking, art and crafts, outside time and board games that they choose to participate in at will.
Our School Age program works in conjunction with the Oxford School District schedule, so full day care is available when school is out. Transportation is available to and from the Oxford Area School District only. NCDC is often usually open during snow days as well, so that you can be confident that your child is in a safe, fun environment on these days. NCDC also offers a full day summer program which includes field trips and activities to stimulate them socially and recreation ally as well as academically.

• Summer Program:
Our summer day program is for children completing Kindergarten through Sixth Grade. Parents may sign their children up for as few or as many weeks as needed. Each week a different recreational theme is stressed, such as the arts or sports. We also plan daily craft activities, structured outside games, reading time, and water play for those hot days of summer.
We also introduce a virtues program to our school age children during the summer. This program works through intrinsic and extrinsic rewards to help the children make positive choices dealing with virtues such as; consideration, compassion, helpfulness, and patience. Activities are planned daily to help build these skills.
This is an example of our summer program.

This session will focus on having the children explore the creative arts. Children will learn about various artists, practice certain artistic techniques as well as enjoy a plethora of art projects. The
children will enjoy a trip to an art museum during this session to explore professional art.
