…the care you want when you need it.

  • Your child’s school day: We are there with them from opening at 6:30am to the start of the school day and from the moment the school bell rings at the end of the day until final pick up at 6:30p.m.
  • Delayed start or early dismissal: When school is out early or starts late, we are there for you providing the added care hours on those days. (9/16, 9/23, 10/12, 10/13, 10/14, 11/30, 12/23, 2/15, 4/28, 5/31)
  • All Day Out Options: During school breaks we offer full-day options open to all school-age children at one of our 3 facilities.
  • Snow Days: When the school is closed due to inclement weather, the Y is available to those enrolled in the year-long program, the Flex Fun Monthly Program, or the ALL DAY OUT Add On option for that month.  Enrollment will be separate for these days based on the space available at each location.  There is an additional fee for these days.
