Forever a Place to Learn
Where and how children spend their time is vital to their growth and success in life. At the Y, we help kids reach their potential and thrive in a safe, trustworthy setting. We offer a curriculum that aligns with the school day and supports growth in literacy, math, and science while infusing the arts, physical activity, and fun. Our curriculum appeals to kids and teaches confidence, encourages self-expression, and enriches social development.
Our before and after school programs are tuition-based to provide more consistency and convenience in our programs. Tuition plans are based on the school district schedule. Before-and-After School Child Care will begin on Wednesday, September 6 for the 2023-24 school year.
