The YMCA practically invented after-school child care -- a safe, fun place for school-age or middle school-age children to spend time in the afternoon until Mom and Dad are finished with their work day.  Our after-school programs take place both at our YMCAs as well as on-site at schools throughout the two-county area.

When you enroll your child in a YMCA before-school or after-school program, you can feel confident that we are providing your child the opportunity for active play, quiet time for homework, an afternoon snack and the chance to make new friends and try new activities in a values-based environment.

We are registering kids for our after-school child care programs for the 2010-11 school year. Download a program flyer and registration form.
