TIME TO SIGN UP FOR YMCA OUT OF SCHOOL TIME

It’s hard to believe the summer is over, and it is time to go back to school.  Back to school also means, for many families, decisions on the best option for children before and after the formal school day.  At the YMCA of Greater Providence we have a number of Out of School Time opportunities in Y facilities and schools throughout Providence, the state of Rhode Island, and southeastern Massachusetts.

 

The objective of YMCA Out of School Time is to focus on the overall development of the child academically, socially, physically and emotionally.  The YMCA Out-of-School enrichment programs provide a framework for school age children that stress health and well-being, creative arts and expression, and structured academic support.  All our child focused programs are licensed by the Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth and Families.
