Child Care with a Purpose (grades K-5)

The YMCA Community Outreach Branch and various area school districts have teamed up in offering the School Age Center Child Care Program. This high-quality child care program is affordable and conveniently located right at your child's school.

In addition to providing child care in a safe, nurturing environment, parents trust in knowing that all activities at the YMCA School Age Center promote character development through caring, respect, honesty and responsibility.
