Afterschool Care 2025-2026 School Year
Must register in-house.
The YMCA afterschool program is more than just a safe place for students to hangout after the bell rings. We design our program to nurture potential, improve academic engagement and achievement, build confidence, and to support the healthy development of spirit, mind, and body. The YMCA provides a safe, fun and active atmosphere with a focus on our core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. We strive to provide an inclusive environment for every child to thrive in, to the best of our ability. We do not bus from middle schools.
Elysian and Elder Grove schools will be bused into the YMCA each day. Please keep in mind these school schedules are different than SD2. Our YMCA afterschool program is based on the 2025-2026 School District 2 school schedule. There will be no school days for SD2 where buses will not pick up from these schools.
$30 non-refundable registration is applied for each child.
Ages: K-5th Grade. We will take 6th graders if they are in the SD2 Elementary School. We do not bus from middle schools.
Cost: Member $345/month and Community $460/month
Dates: September 2, 2025-May 22, 2026, until 6:00 p.m.
