Before & After School Care Information
PROGRAM DATES
Our School Age programs are in-session for the duration of the school year and coincide with the respective school district’s calendar. We offer School’s Out Days on most of the days that your child’s school is closed. Parents will be notified of these programs in advance and allowed to enroll for an additional fee. This program is separate from our regular before and after school program.
HOURS
Care may be available both before and after school when the school is in session. Times vary by school. Before school care typically begins at 6:45 AM and continues until students are dismissed for the start of the school day. After school care begins at the end of the school day and typically runs until 6:00 PM.
REGISTRATION
- Children in K4 (must be toilet trained) through 12th grade are welcome. Check with your school for their site-specific program ages.
- Program availability varies based on each site’s licensed capacity. Capacities will be posted at each licensed location.
- Spots are limited; register early to avoid being put on the waitlist.
- Parents must keep the information on all forms updated and notify the YMCA immediately of changes.
FORMS
All submitted registration information will be kept confidential and will only be shared with necessary Y staff. When necessary, Y staff will be informed and updated on each child’s special health needs; all information will be shared in a private setting.

- Select the child you will be registering for these selections.
- Continue through until month/day(s) are in your cart.
