School Age Before and After Care

When you need convenient and affordable before and after-school care, this program is for you.

The YMCA’s Before and After School Care Program serves children from kindergarten to age 12 within a number of public, private and charter schools in Dayton and Greater Miami Valley area. Our program nurtures the spirit, mind, and body, giving children the ability to develop and reach their full potential.

As with all of our YMCA youth care and enrichment opportunities, this program is specifically designed to meet the developmental characteristics and needs of the youth we serve. Program directors are mindful that children develop greatly during school years and activities are geared accordingly, from help with homework to simply “blowing off steam.” The YMCA is a trusted partner with a proven track record.

Curriculum

The Y’s Before and After School Care Program is designed to support the most critical needs of a child’s education by focusing on math and reading skills. Our KidzLit and KidzMath Curriculum are designed for your child’s success by helping to increase a child’s motivation to not only read and develop math skills, but to also improve social skills that fit in well with the YMCA’s core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility.  We know how important a child’s education is to a parent, that is why the Y partners with parents to provide your child homework help and you peace of mind.
