Research shows that children who spend time in constructive learning activities after school perform better in the classroom.
After School care is available for children 5-12 years old. This program is part of the YMCA’s history of dedication to youth and children’s services. It was established to meet the needs of working parents in the community while providing their children a fun, safe, enriching environment that would promote the YMCA’s four core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
Our program offers a variety of daily activities focusing on academic support, character development, physical fitness and proper nutrition, under the leadership of qualified, professional staff. Our experienced staff team is dedicated to meeting the physical, emotional and intellectual needs of all children under our care in a safe, nurturing environment. Children receive help on their homework and take part in educational activities that reinforce what is learned at school.
