| YMCA After School Care sets out to give kids both smile-inspiring escapades and foundational experiences that help them grow. Whether it’s exploring science concepts, enjoying outdoor playtime or creating art projects, the Y provides a safe, supportive environment that focuses on learning, developing interests and making friends. We’ve teamed up with Pop Culture Hero Coalition to offer a fun and innovative curriculum focused on STEAM, art, adventure and social and emotional learning. Participants also enjoy homework help, health and wellness activities, sports and games. |

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
