School-Age Child-Care Programs
When it comes to filling the time gaps before and after school safely, creatively and constructively, no one does it better than the YMCA. Your kids can express their talents in the arts, sports and other interest areas, taking advantage of all the YMCA has to offer. We set aside time for homework, and adults are always available to help. Our trained staff members are skilled at listening to youth and challenging them too. Best of all, everyone has fun at the YMCA! (Please note that parents are responsible for transportation arrangements.)
Please contact Beth Kolacki at (702) 476-6741 or bkolacki@lasvegasymca.org to submit a request for transportation services to or from your child's school for the 2010-2011 school year.
