Before And After School Care
ACHIEVE. BELONG. CONNECT.
A Typical Day at the Y After School Program

Y Community Time
Welcome children into the program;
this can consist of a formal greeting, icebreakers, or group games. Students receive a healthy snack that includes a whole grain, fruit, and water. NEW: During this time, staff will be trained to use evidenced-based social-emotional learning (SEL) activities to promote diversity, inclusion, empathy, compassion and critical thinking.

Brain Power Hour
Dedicated time for students to work on daily homework and participate in self-guided academic learning centers. Students will be allowed to use any technology device needed to assist with homework, with parent’s permission. YMCA will hire campus certified teacher to assist with homework assistance for students who need support.

Exploration
Age-appropriate structured, hands-on, fun activities intended to reinforce academic learning concepts. The Y uses evidence-based curriculum-related to STEM and literacy in partnership with Scholastic Learning and others. Activities will be focused on STEM and literacy but incorporate various subjects throughout the year.

Enrichment
Age-appropriate structured enrichment activities such as music, art, theatre, DIY crafts, global awareness, service learning and character education intended to expose students to new experiences to ignite their imagination and foster a love of service and empathy for others.
