Program Goals:
- Provide an environment of safety, support, and care.
- Develop the inner-strength of young people.
- Focus on increasing self-confidence and feelings of self-worth.
- Develop interpersonal skills.
- Focus on learning to be an effective member of a group.
- Improve the ability of parents and children to communicate with and understand each other.

The children participate in a balanced program of open play and structured activities while being supervised by well-trained and caring staff. Children have the opportunity to get involved in a variety of learning centers in addition to a well-balanced curriculum. YMCA School-Age Child Care ensures children are given a unique mix of activities that focus on developmental assets, the building blocks that teach children how to make positive and intelligent decisions throughout life.
