BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL INFORMATION
The YMCA Before and After School Age Care program provides quality, affordable care for children in grades K–6 that promotes social, emotional, and cognitive development. Operating from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, the program offers a safe and supportive environment for children during before and after school hours, including early release days, so parents can work a full day with confidence.
Each day features a mix of homework support, structured physical activity, and creative, hands-on projects that encourage learning and growth. Children build friendships, practice teamwork, and develop positive character values in a fun, inclusive setting.
Our caring, trained staff create a welcoming space where kids can thrive, with a focus on healthy living, academic enrichment, and social responsibility. The YMCA partners with families and schools to ensure a seamless experience that meets the needs of both children and parents.

School-Age Program Tuition & Closures
Our Before & After School Care Program provides a safe and engaging environment for children during out-of-school hours. Please review the following information about tuition and care during school closures:
- Prorated Tuition:
Tuition will be prorated for scheduled school closures such as teacher in-service days, Labor Day, and other planned days off listed on the school calendar. - Unscheduled Closures (Inclement Weather):
Tuition will not be prorated for unscheduled school closures such as inclement weather or emergency closings.
We may offer a Schools-Out Day at an additional daily rate if staffing and demand allow. Families will be notified as soon as possible when this care becomes available. - Weekly Tuition Policy:
Tuition is due weekly regardless of your child’s attendance. The only exceptions are Christmas Break and Spring Break, when regular tuition is not charged. - Schools-Out Care (Scheduled Days):
Care is typically offered on most scheduled days off, including during Christmas and Spring Break. This care is available at a daily rate and requires separate registration in advance.
Please reach out if you have any questions—we’re here to help!
