School Age Child Care

School’s Out – Before and After School Care
Elementary School/ Middle School Grades

For the times you can’t be there yourself, the YMCA supports your efforts to nurture your child’s healthy development. Well-trained staff provide safe, affordable, high-quality child care so you can have peace of mind. This program is licensed by the Department of Children, Youth and Families and we maintain a 1:13 ratio of staff to children.

The School’s Out program will incorporate the YMCA Activate America goals of increasing physical activity and supporting healthy lifestyle choices, such as eating healthy snacks, into our daily program with time for homework, character development, creative and physical activities each day.
