Afterschool Care 2025-2026 School Year
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.
Transportation: The YMCA picks up from most Billings School Dist. 2 schools, including Elder Grove, Elysian, Blue Creek and St. Francis. and several other area schools. 6th grade students need to attend an elementary school to be bussed to the YMCA.
*Locations may change due to staff & school availability.
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.
$30 non-refundable registration is applied for each child.
