The YMCA of Delaware is committed to providing children with a safe and positive experience while promoting unity, acceptance, and fostering a sense of self. Before care programs offer a great start to your child’s day with group games and enrichment choices. After care programs reinforce academics through a variety of fun and engaging structured activities, provide time for homework, a snack or small meal, and physical activities and sports. Our well-trained staff strive to create an environment that supports children and their individual needs.

The YMCA before and after school program is open to all and financial assistance is available. All sites are licensed by the State of Delaware and accept Purchase of Care.
