We are looking to partner with the YMCA to bring full afterschool care to St. Albans. They would be at City school. To make this happen, we will need interest from our families. If this is something your family would be interested in, please contact Stephanie Beck at sbeck@maplerun.org 802 527-0565 x3706 

Description of YMCA Program
The hours children spend outside of the classroom are critical to their growth and development. The Y is committed to providing children with a safe, enriching and fun environment during out-of-school time, where staff members foster positive physical, social, emotional and cognitive growth. Our curriculum complements the school day with extended learning opportunities that include sports, outdoor play, the arts, skill-building clubs, STEM, literacy and more.

Who is the program for?
Each Y School Age program is available to all children in grades K-6. The full-week options and hours are designed to meet the childcare needs of working families. The Y’s flexible enrollment schedule encourages children to participate who may need enrichment, exercise or a supervised environment with positive adult role models just a few days each week.

The program runs from dismissal until 6 pm daily, Monday- Friday

Afterschool Rates
