📢 For SACP Families
If you use Bedford County Schools’ School Age Care Program (SACP) for childcare, we want to let you know that SACP rates will increase beginning October 19.
We understand that any tuition increase affects families, and this was carefully considered. The cost of operating SACP has increased, including staff pay, food and snacks, supplies, transportation, field trips, and equipment. The updated rates will help us continue providing safe, dependable care from 6 a.m.–6 p.m. before and after school, during school breaks, and throughout the summer - without reducing services or eliminating full-day care.
Families will continue to be charged only for the days their child attends.
📋 See the new tuition rates in this post’s graphics or visit online:
https://www.bedfordk12tn.com/page/sacp-tuition-information.
💙 Need payment assistance? We can help you apply online for childcare payment assistance through the Tennessee Department of Human Services:
https://www.tn.gov/humanservices/for-families/child-care-services/child-care-payment-assistance.html.
Thank you for your understanding and for trusting SACP to care for your children! We are grateful to serve Bedford County families.
