Before & After School Care

When school’s out, you can trust the Y to provide an engaging experience for your child after school. Before & After School Care gives your child the opportunity to get to know some of their classmates better as they engage in active play and collaborate on fun projects. In the process, they’ll continue to develop the physical, educational, emotional and social skills that are essential for success.

The Y provides safe, supervised care until 6 p.m. for school age children (K-6). Our participating schools are Florence City (Weeden, Hibbett, Forest Hills & Harlan) and Lauderdale County (Underwood, Wilson, Central & Brooks). We will be partnering with NACOLG & Florence City Schools busing for traveling to and from the schools. Buses will pick up your child after school and bring them back to our new Youth Center at our YMCA!

The YMCA believes that staff training is essential to providing quality programs. Our childcare staff members maintain current First Aid and CPR certifications. Each staff member also completes pre-service orientation training as well as training throughout the new year. All potential employees are required to pass a drug test and criminal background screening. YMCA staff are also required to attend child abuse prevention and awareness training.

CHARACTER VALUES

We strive to integrate our four core values in everything we do. These values are: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. We hope to help build these values in the children by serving as an example and encouraging them to exhibit these characteristics in their behavior.
