Before/After School Y Care

Our Before & After School Program

Our program gives children an opportunity to interact with their peers in a school setting, explore child-centered areas, experiment with art, enjoy a nutritious snack, receive help with homework, participate in directed after-school activities, and engage in physical activity both inside and outside.

Lasting personal and social change can only come about when we all work together to invest in our kids, our health and our neighbors.

• Y Care is available to students who are actively enrolled in the below schools.
