2011-2012 Information
We are now accepting registration forms for the 2011-2012 school year.
The Gilberts Family Branch YMCA is proud to offer quality After School Child Care to students in afternoon Kindergarten through 5th grade. Afternoon preschoolers that are age 5 by Thanksgiving will be accepted on a case by case basis and if slots are available.
At the YMCA After School program, kids build self-esteem, values and leadership skills. You'll know they're growing and exploring their potential; they'll think they are just having fun. We provide activities in the following curriculum areas: Homework, Health & Fitness, Character Development, Science, Service-Learning, Arts and Humanities, Literacy, and Conflict Resolution in small and large groups. Our staff is trained in YMCA of the USA school age courses along with CPR and First Aid.
Our after school program begins at the end of the school day at 2:15 pm and lasts until 6:00 pm at Gilberts Elementary School.
