BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS
In addition to before and after school care provided by the YMCA, we offer many opportunities for students to participate in after school enrichment programs. Some programs are fee-based and some are free.
Peirce After School Programs will begin on Monday, October 3rd, each class has a different end date. All classes will run from 3:00 - 4:00pm unless otherwise indicated. Due to limited offerings, we ask that students only sign up for classes that they are able to attend weekly. This form is to express interest only, we will send a follow up email the week of September 26th to confirm acceptance along with permission slips to attend. A lottery process will be used for classes who have more students interested than available. Please know that we are looking to add in additional programs as we have staff available to support.
