Before and After Care

Licensed Before & After School Programs

With so many demands on today's families, parents need all the help they can get. That's why we're America's largest child care provider. The YMCA has over 20 years of experience providing quality, licensed school-age child care for Central Ohio families. Through our affordable child care programs, we create a safe, nurturing environment for children to learn, grow and develop social skills.

SDO

School Days Off-School Holiday Programming

The YMCA is committed to supporting and nurturing kids in Central Ohio communities. During the school year, when schools close for parent/teacher conference days, single day holidays and longer holiday breaks, the YMCA offers full-day child care from 7am - 6pm at select branches so that kids have a place to play and learn (note: pre-registration may be necessary).

A wide variety of programs are offered for children grades 1 through 6.
