SCHOOL-AGE & AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS
The mark of a quality child care program is providing enriching experiences which facilitate cognitive, social, physical and emotional growth. By partnering with families, we seek to meet the developmental needs of each child. YMCA Child Care programs, licensed by the State of Ohio, provides a curriculum focused on education, leadership and character development. YMCA After School programs ensure that each child’s time after school is occupied creatively and constructively.

Our School-Age Child Care (SACC) Program is a year-round licensed program, which is educationally, socially, recreationally and culturally focused. The SACC Program can serve up to 90 children, ages 5-12 years. We offer tutoring, computer courses, swim lessons, character development, community service opportunities, and cultural enrichment activities. For program information, fee schedule, or to enroll your child(ren), call 513.961.3510.
