School's Out Program | Half Day & Full Day Care
School’s Out Childcare
When school is closed, the YMCA is here to keep your child learning, playing, and having fun. As the largest childcare provider in the United States, the YMCA of Reading & Berks County has proudly provided trusted, high-quality childcare to local families since the 1980s.
About School’s Out Childcare
Our School’s Out Half-Day and Full-Day Care programs provide a safe, engaging environment for children in kindergarten through sixth grade during scheduled in-service days, early dismissals, and other school closures.
While you’re at work, your child will stay active, make new friends, and enjoy a day filled with enriching activities designed to keep them learning, exploring, and having fun.
What to Expect
Each School’s Out day includes:
- Fun games and educational activities
- Sports and active play
- Hands-on STEAM projects
- Nutritious snacks
- Opportunities to build friendships and social skills
Please Note: Parents are required to provide a packed lunch.
