CONFIDENT KIDS TODAY, ENGAGED ADULTS TOMORROW
Before & After School Program School Age Child Care, Ages 5-12
Children absorb knowledge, skills and values from everything and everyone around them. At the Y, we believe time well spent in a fun, safe and supportive environment before and after school is a primary building block for quality of life and future success of children. Children feel connected at the Y where they can make friends and learn how to be their best with the Y’s values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. We promote positive self-esteem, life skills, teamwork, leadership, creativity and educational support. The Y’s Before and After School Program is centered upon activities and opportunities that focus on eight core components:
1. Literacy 2. Character development 3. Health, wellness and fitness 4. Service learning 5. Arts and humanities 6. Science, math and technology 7. Social competence and conflict resolution 8. Homework support
The YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region recognizes that exceptional, caring adults are essential to the healthy development of children. Our staff exceeds state licensing requirements for experience and training. All staff are required to pass a state and national background check before hired and references are extensively checked. Additionally, all staff are First Aid/CPR certified, making YMCA school-age programs the standard in safety and quality.
