How It Works

In partnership with several Jefferson County parochial and private schools, this YMCA program delivers safe, values-driven after-school care for K–8 students.

Children benefit from:

  • Homework help and literacy enrichment
  • Healthy snacks and active play
  • Weekly themed activities in art, STEM, and character development
  • Social-emotional learning and peer connection

All staff are background checked, CPR and First Aid certified, and receive ongoing professional training. We meet or exceed all state staff-to-child ratios and licensing standards.

Why Choose School-Age Care at the Y?

Partnership-Driven Care

We work directly with participating schools to provide a consistent, familiar environment where students feel safe and supported.

Enrichment Beyond the Classroom

Our curriculum combines creativity, movement, academic support, and character-building—all designed to meet kids where they are.

Experienced, Caring Staff

We hand-pick and train our team to be exceptional role models who truly care about your child’s growth and well-being.

School Breaks, Snow Days & In-Service Care

School Break Camps

We offer full-day care during fall, winter, and spring breaks with fun, theme-based programming. Activities include games, crafts, enrichment, and active play in a safe, supportive environment.

Snow Days

When schools close due to weather, we provide full-day care from 7 am to 6 pm (weather permitting) for currently registered participants. Children must bring a lunch and dress for outdoor conditions. Space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

In-Service Days

We offer care during most school in-service days from 7 am to 6 pm. Pre-registration is required. Please pack a non-refrigerated lunch; snacks are provided. Preschool-age care is not available on in-service days.
