Here’s What Parents Have to Say About Y After-School Care:

“When you are busy and working, YMCA After School Programs are just really helpful. The staff are really amazing to work with and super flexible. I really think after-school care is one of the best things you can do (for your child). They just have so many great experiences here. It’s another layer of play and exposure to a lot of kids.”

— Donna, mom of after-school program participant
