The YMCA Afterschool Program provides a safe, nurturing, values centered environment that encourages the development of the whole child; intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically. Activities are designed to expose children to new experiences and to allow them to explore their interests and talents. 

Payments
All childcare payments are made by automatic draft. Please note that weekly payments are made the following Tuesday for the previous week of care and are based on attendance. Two or more days is considered a full week of care and will cost $60. One day of care in a week costs $20. 

Sibling Discount
If you are registering multiple children, please be aware that our system will not automatically generate the $5 off sibling discount. Prior to the first draft payment, our Accounts Receivable Director, will manually adjust your account to reflect a sibling discount.

Financial Assistance
If you are interested in receiving financial assistance for after school, please proceed with registering your child(ren) for the YMCA After School Program at Palmetto Elementary. After registering your child(ren), please contact the guidance counselor at Palmetto Elementary School and let them know you would like to apply for a scholarship for the after school program.

Financial Support
If you are able and would like to donate to the YMCA, as we continue meeting our community’s needs by offering more after school scholarships, please find our donation page here.
