After School Program

Together with various community partners, the YMCA offers recreational after school programming to children ages 4-12. This program provides families with a safe and secure after school location for their children accompanied by caring, active staff who lead fun and original programming focused on physical activity, nutrition and wellness. The YMCA after school program is a recreational after school program designed to promote a healthy, active lifestyle. Each day the children will help in preparing a healthy snack that they will start their day by sharing together. Our program leaders plan a variety of active games and sports for the children. Our aim is to provide at least 1.5-2 hours of recreation play each day for children. The program leaders are carefully selected based on experience, leadership and the ability to work with children. All staff hold current First Aid/CPR “C” and AED certifications as well as clear criminal record with vulnerable sector checks. Our staff are well trained before starting as an after school program leader, as well participate in ongoing training covering topics such as healthy child development, behaviour management, program planning and student safety. Programs are supported by funds from Canadian Tire Jumpstart, Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Sport and Loblaws Companies Ltd.
