The YMCA cannot provide care for sick children. Please do not send your child to after-school if they are ill or contagious. Should your child become ill while attending after-school, we require that your child be picked up as soon as possible after we contact you. We will contact parents immediately if their child becomes ill or injured.

Please Pre-Pay check, money order every week

You must sign out your child.  This is very important for the safety of the children.  Failure to sign out your child may result in a $5.00 fee.

Please pick up your child by 6:00pm (or by 5:30pm at Crosely).

Picking up a child late will result in additional charges:

$15.00 for the first 10 minutes, and $1.00 for each additional minute

If a child is not picked up by the end of the program day, we will do our best to contact a parent or guardian using the information given on the registration form.  If no parent or guardian can be reached, we may contact the Sheriff's Department and turn the child over to protective services.

Medicine and Emergency:

We do not give out over the counter medication however we will give prescribed medicine only after a medicine release for has been filled out by the parent/legal guardian. Please make sure all information on your registration form is correct and please let us know through out the school year if there are any changes that need to be made. This information is important in case of an emergency.
