Where is the program located?

We are actually in your child’s school. There is no extra traveling around for your child. When school starts your child just walks from our program to their classroom. At the end of the day your child will walk from their classroom to the YMCA School Age Program.

Is the $25 registration fee per child or per family?

The $25 registration fee is per child. For example, if you are registering two children, it is $50 total for your family. This fee is due with your registration form. The registration fee will be waived if you pay by monthly automatic bank draft.

What is the first and last day that the YMCA School Age Program runs?

The YMCA School Age Program starts on the first full day of school and ends on the last full day of school. During the summer months the YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee does offer Day Camp Programs at various locations.

I have a YMCA Family Membership, how do I obtain the 50% discount off my membership each month?

Once your child is enrolled in the program, you will receive a discount coupon mailed with your confirmation packet. It is your responsibility to activate your discount. Take your coupon to your membership location and a membership representative will assist you. Discounts will not be applied towards prior membership fees.

Do you accept Child Care (W-2) Benefits?

Yes we do! You are responsible for contacting your case worker. Please call the Billing Office at 414-274-0738 to obtain our provider and location number.

Do you offer the YMCA Strong Kids Scholarship?

Yes we do! At the YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee, no one is turned away do to an inability to pay. The scholarship is based on your household income and the number of people in your household. To apply for the scholarship please call the Billing Office at 414-274-0738.

I receive a YMCA Strong Kids Scholarship from another branch or from last year, will I still receive it for the YMCA School Age Child Care Program?

Yes, but you will need to fill out the scholarship forms again and provide a proof of income. There is not a guarantee that you will receive the same scholarship amount.

Do you run a program on days off of school?

Yes, we run a program called School’s Out Day at various locations. These programs follow each school district’s yearly calendar and are run on their school’s days off. Any child from any school can attend these programs. There is an additional fee for School’s Out Program.  Advance registration is required – spots available on first-come-first serve basis. Contact your regional School Age Leadership Team (below) for more information.
