School-Age Care
As your school district finalizes plans for the upcoming school year, we know that one of the concerns is how families will navigate any new school day structure while meeting the demands of work and home. The YMCA is here to support you and your family. We have provided child care to essential workers and kids in summer camp in a safe, caring, and responsible way. Our programs will help students continue their remote learning while being part of a child care program that allows parents to return to work.
As a parent, you know that the hours before, and after school are critical times for a child’s development. Before and after school care at the Y provides you peace of mind, knowing your children are safe and in an environment where the learning taking place at home and school, will continue. The Y partners with families to offer homework support, healthy snacks, physical activity such as games and sports, as well as arts, science and plenty of opportunities to try new things and make great friends.

YMCA programs operate year-round and when school is out to ensure children have academic enrichment and recreational opportunities when they need them most. School’s Out Care is available on most school holidays including winter and spring break.
