The Family and Early Childhood Education Program FECEP/Head Start is a free child development program for children birth to age five, including children with disabilities or special needs, from income-eligible families. Parents and community professionals work with program staff to provide comprehensive services which address children's educational, social, health, nutritional, and emotional needs. Fairfax County Public Schools operates FECEP/Head Start classrooms in selected schools throughout the county.
School Age Child Care (SACC) cares for children before and after school in Fairfax County Elementary Schools. SACC nurtures creativity, supports independent thinking, and encourages cooperative behavior. Experiential learning, leisure time interests, and field trips are also an integral part of the child-focused curriculum at each SACC center.
