Child Care
Child Care
... The only people happier about YMCA school-age child
care programs than the kids are the parents. That’s because
our YMCA programs give children a safe place to go when you
can’t be with them. The programs are fun and stimulating.
And, since we have school year and summertime child care
programs - we have a program designed for your child all
year long.
The YMCA
provides activities for the Morning and After School Y-Care
programs. ACTIVITIES INCLUDE: Movies & Popcorn, Swimming,
Games, Stories, Sports, Daily Snacks, Special Events,
Crafts, and a Study Area. YMCA School-Age child care
programs are supervised by trained, caring leaders who give
children the attention and encouragement they need.
Financial
assistance is available to those who qualify. No person is
excluded from service because of race, color, religion, sex,
or national origin.
Before School Y-Care...
Before School Y-Care provides early morning activities
for children kindergarten through sixth grade. Children will
be provided breakfast, recreational or quiet time, and
transportation to school. When school is canceled or
postponed because of weather, you don’t have to worry about
finding someone to watch them. We provide all day and
partial day care when school is canceled. Parents may drop
registered children off between 6 and 8 a.m. Buses begin to
leave at 7:35 a.m.
After School Y-Care...
After School Y-Care fills the afternoon hours with
fun-filled activities for children kindergarten through
sixth grade. Children will be provided an afternoon snack,
organized activities, recreation time, and transportation
from school to the YMCA. Parents must pick up children by 6
p.m.
Kindi Kare...
Kindergarten is an exciting experience for both you and your
child. This experience can also become burdensome if you are
“juggling” a job and the half day student. Transportation
and child care can become difficult hurdles to overcome if
your schedule is not flexible. The YMCA has a program that
caters exclusively to kindergarten students and their
parents. The Kindi Kare Program has trained, caring leaders
who give children the encouragement and attention they need.
The YMCA also provides hot lunches and nutritious snacks.
Supervised activities include: swimming, gym time, arts,
crafts, quiet time, games, and free time. Transportation
provided by the YMCA mini buses will be to and from the
following schools: South Peru, Holman, Lincoln, Elmwood, St.
Charles, St. John, and Blair Pointe. Transportation from
Maconaquah and North Miami Elementary Schools will be
provided at a fee if there is a great enough need. The Kindi
Kare Program will be available Monday through Friday, 6 a.m.
- 6 p.m. During school vacation or in the event of school
cancellation, the YMCA will provide child care all day. This
program begins the first full day of school and continues
throughout the school year.
Summer Enrichment...
Mom and Dad, are you looking for someone to provide Summer
Care for your child/children? The YMCA has trained personnel
who enjoy working with children. Some of the activities we
enjoy each summer are as follows: swimming at Miller’s Pool
and the YMCA, visiting area parks and museums, blazing the
trails at Mississinewa, field trips, bowling, guest
speakers, arts and crafts, movies and popcorn, hot lunches
and healthy snacks. This program is available 6 a.m. - 6
p.m., Monday through Friday. Children entering Kindergarten
through the 6th grade are eligible to participate. |
