• Snacks: 
  • In our Summer SACC programs, there is not an AM snack offered by our staff; therefore, your family is welcome to drop your child off with a snack or breakfast from home. A PM snack will be provided by center staff. Children that do not like the offered snack are welcome to bring a snack from home.
  • In our Summer Pre-K program, the opposite is true due to our hours at this location. Staff will offer an AM snack only. Children that do not like the offered snack are welcome to bring a snack from home.
• Lunches & Water Bottles: 
  • Families are asked to provide a lunch from home for all Summer Child Care programs that does not need to be refrigerated or microwaved, and a water bottle labeled with your child’s name.
  • At select locations that meet the necessary criteria, Anne Arundel County Public Schools will provide breakfast and lunch through our partnership with Food & Nutrition Services Division. If your site is selected, this information will be provided prior to the first day of Summer SACC.
