Pick the School Day Child Care That Works for YOUR Family!
We are proud to offer TWO school day child care programs, with scheduling options to meet a variety of family needs!
- Afterschool at YOUR SCHOOL provides care onsite at your child's school for 2 hours after dismissal.
- Before and After School Child Care at the Y provides care at the Y starting at 6:30am each morning until 7:00pm, and it also transports your kids from the Y to their school.
The mission of all Dodge City Family YMCA child care programs is to instill YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect, & responsibility. Our programs ensure that children are under the care of our trained and qualified team.
Learn more about each program below!
Both child care programs have scholarship opportunities for students on free/reduced lunch. Free/reduced lunch qualifies you for a 30% scholarship when you provide us a copy for your acceptance letter. For more scholarship options, apply at the Y through our Everyone Belongs Scholarship Program.
