The Johnson County YMCA sponsors the school age care program housed at Belinder Elementary School. The program is held on all days that school is not in session including snow days. The program features socialization, group games and sports, creative arts, cooking and field trips, as well as special events, seasonal parties, and visiting speakers. An activity period during each day includes time for students to engage in self-selected activities like board games or reading, or they may begin homework assignments.
Staff is available to assist children with their schoolwork.
The program is fully licensed by the State of Kansas Department of Health and Environment and is staffed with caring and qualified personnel, who understand the needs and interests of school age children. Johnson County YMCA sponsors a cooperative care Enrichment Program for kindergarten students. The Y-Care Staff works with our Belinder kindergarten teachers to provide a day of extended learning experiences.
