Before and After School Childcare

Learn. Grow. Thrive.

With a focus on safety, health, social-emotional growth, and academic enhancement, YMCA Before and After School Childcare programs serve kindergarten through middle school students. Children at the YMCA explore and develop their interests and talents through a wide range of activities.

Children who participate in our programs make friends, learn new skills, and do their homework in a supportive, learning-conducive atmosphere. Most importantly, children learn how to be their best selves. The Y supports today's youth and helps them build confidence for the future.

All of our programs are pleased to offer both full-time and part-time options, providing parents with flexibility.

A two week notice is required for any cancellations or changes in schedule. Please email ccregistration@ymcacw.org or your location's Site Director to make adjustments to your registration. Changes cannot be made online.
