At the YMCA, School-Age Child Care program's main goal is to provide a high quality, developmentally appropriate, safe place for children to go so that parents have the freedom to work or study, knowing their children's needs are being met.  YMCA School-Age Child Care is a state-licensed program, offering a structured, yet flexible schedule that allows children to choose from an array of fun and challenging activities.

Our nurturing staff members reflect the YMCA's values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.  You can feel assured knowing that your child will be under the supervision of a highly trained, CPR and First Aid certified staff member at all times.

Thank you for your interest.  You can take your children anywhere, but they belong at the Y.
