Before & After School Care
Our program is in its 11th full year of operation. The program for school age children is an activity-based program designed to enhance the social, physical and personal growth of all participants in a caring, fun-filled, safe and supportive environment. All activities are value based, focusing on The YMCA’s character values of Caring, Honesty, Respect & Responsibility.
Program Philosophy
To provide a safe and nurturing environment for children while implementing age appropriate activities that promote social, emotional, intellectual and physical skill development.
Character Development
The YMCA’s four character values are Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility and are taught, modeled and demonstrated daily in all activities. Children that exemplify these character values will be recognized and rewarded in Character Development ceremonies.
Curriculum
Daily schedule is an approximate schedule and may vary depending on what time each individual school starts & ends.
2008-2009 Fee Structure
There is a $25 (non-refundable) one-time registration fee per family. Purchase of Care recipients are not required to pay this fee. We require a deposit of 1/2 of each child’s monthly child care cost to be paid in full to reserve their spot. Purchase of Care recipients are required to pay a $25 deposit per child. This deposit will be applied to the end of the school year. Our fees are calculated on 180 school days and divided into 9 monthly payments.
