The YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region's Before and After School Child Care Program provides children with opportunities for growth and development outside of their school day through activities and adventures that are child-centered and fun! We provide a safe, encouraging environment that promotes positive self-esteem and image, life skills, teamwork, leadership, creativity and education support. We have developed a variety of activities and opportunities for children, with an emphasis on eight core components:

a row of kids in before and after-school care
  1. Literacy

  3. Health, Wellness and Fitness
  4. Service Learning
  5. Arts and Humanities
  6. Science, Math and Technology
  7. Social Competence and Conflict Resolution
  8. Homework Support
