School Age-Before and After School Care
The YMCA is the largest childcare provider in the United States and for good reason! Since the 1980’s, the YMCA of Reading and Berks County has provided our area with high quality, attentive childcare programs.
In our before and after school programs, we provide a safe, fun place to play and learn to children in kindergarten through sixth grade. While you’re at work, you can rest easy knowing your child is making the most of their time. While it may seem like just a few short hours, we make the time count with fun activities which not only help them learn, but also build strong bonds with their fellow classmates. Here is just a short list of what you can expect from your before and after school care center:
- Homework Help
- Games
- Sports
- Hands-on STEAM learning
- Nutritious and delicious snacks
Please note in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and current staffing needs, our before and after school programs have been modified to ensure the safety of all program participants and staff. Space in each program will be limited and protocol is subject to change. We encourage you to read your location’s Health and Safety Plan and enroll as soon as possible.
