ywca before and after school programs
grades K- 6th


Our exceptional before and after school programs combine guidance and security with fun to give school aged children the freedom and structure they need. Children are active, so we promote indoor and outdoor play and cooperative games. They’re creative, so we encourage dramatic play and arts and crafts. And programs are personalized, so those who need to do homework are given a quiet space. We also provide a healthy snack every afternoon.


Before School Program hours are 7:30 am to start of school.

After School Program hours are 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm and coverage for half days.

After Kindergarten Programs are available from 12 noon to 3:15 pm at selected locations. Please call for more information
