School Age Care

At YMCA School Age Care, children 5 through 12 will become connected to their community with a true sense of belonging in a safe and fun place to spend their time before and after school. Time gaps before and after school can be empty and lonely for kids—and a challenge for busy parents. YMCA School Age Care programs offer a healthy solution as children will spend their time engaged in active, healthy activities with enthusiastic and caring YMCA role models, including healthy snacks, homework help, and daily outdoor play. Parents will have peace of mind that their children are active and learning as well as spending time with friends in our values-based program that uses the fundamentals of YMCA Healthy Child Development by creating opportunities for play, health, and positive relationships to allow them to learn, grow and thrive!
