School age child care (SACC) is a major way the YMCA can act on its commitment to families. As a core program for now and in the future, our School's Out Program, both before- and after-school, offers a safe, supportive, and stimulating environment for all participants. The YMCA has developed this quality program offering creativity, adaptability, and imagination to respond to the needs of today's families, right in your home school.

We will always strive to deliver our program in a positive YMCA environment of safety, support, and care. The YMCA has staffed this program with qualified educators who are able to supply quality care at a reasonable cost. Activities include arts & crafts, sports, games, puzzles, outdoor play, reading, homework time, community service, health, and wellness.   Snacks are also provided on a daily basis.

Program Goals:

• To help children develop to their fullest potential
• To increase ability to work and play together
• To improve self-worth, self-awareness, and self-confidence
• To improve academic achievement, physical skills, health, nutrition, and creative awareness
• To provide a safe, fun, supervised environment for children of working parents
