CHANGE IN BILLING

Beginning September 1st, all participants will be charged for the month of care on the first of that month. All early release programming, days off from school, and alternate school scheduling has been factored into the price of before and after school programs for the 2023/2024 school year; billing adjustments will only be made if we are unable to safely staff care programs to close programming.

OUR PURPOSE

At the Y, we strengthen community through youth development because we believe that a community is stronger when all children have the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve.

When you enroll in our School Age Program, you do so knowing that the Y impacts youth by supporting their needs and interests in our welcoming and safe environment. The School Age Program creates a space for social and emotional learning which will have a positive impact on mental health and social skills.

Our caring staff team follows all state licensing standards while nurturing the potential of every child. Daily activities include structured physical activities, social and emotional learning activities, as well as an afternoon snack with fresh fruit and vegetables.
