YMCA Afterschool Care is open to children in kindergarten through fifth grade who need supervision until their parents can pick them up once school lets out. Due to child safety regulation protocols children must be potty trained and able to visit the bathroom independently without the assistance of staff.

The program is designed to offer homework help; fun, exciting activities; snacks; and play time in an innovative, safe environment that promotes a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. Children will be required to participate in programs and activities that keep children entertained and active.

Afterschool care is held on-site at your school by Y staff. Our staff will carefully guide your child through each part of the days curriculum and will provide encouragement and coaching as needed; NO electronics are allowed to be used outside of school approved devices during homework time only.

The Afterschool Program is a joint endeavor with individual schools.  School participation is a decision made locally at each individual school.  This program is ran independently through the Y and is not associated with Raleigh County Schools policies or procedures.   To request the Y Afterschool Program at your school, contact Dominique at the Y today!  304.252.0715
