We have seven locations throughout greater Sacramento. School care for schoolage children, and full day care for Infants, Toddlers and Preschool age children. The time gaps before and after school can be empty and lonely for kids, or they can be filled creatively and constructively. YMCA school-age care gives kids the chance to express their talents in the arts, sports, and other areas of interest, taking full advantage of all the YMCA has to offer. Kids find out what success is all about in an approach that says everybody plays, everybody wins.
Time is set aside for tackling homework, with adult help available.
Caring, well-trained Y staff people know how to challenge children as well as to listen to them. The infant development is a balance between adult stimulation and independent exploration. Children's physical needs are met, from keeping safe to building new skills. Staff members, aware of the developmental stages that go along with the early years, guide children's growth. Positive relationships with these caregivers help the children learn to trust others and themselves.
