The Y is for Youth Development

With the values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility as our guide, we work with you every day to help your children have fun while realizing their potential.

Licensed Elementary School-Age Child Care

 

YMCA Licensed Elementary School Age Child Care is designed for children in kindergarten through fifth grade. Programs for this age group complement and enhance formal education, and provide learning opportunities that build relationships, develop character and inspire discovery to help foster your child’s academic success.

At the Chester Family YMCA, our program is fun as well as educational. The professionally trained staff helps children develop positive social skills through the YMCA's Character Development Program. Every child is encouraged to practice the four core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. As with any YMCA program, the YMCA School Age Care Curriculum focuses on the YMCA mission of a healthy spirit, mind and body.
