Lowe's YMCA

The 2026–2027 school year will be here before you know it 📚
Get ahead on your family’s routine now by securing your child’s spot in YMCA Afterschool for the 2026–2027 school year.

At the Y, afterschool is more than just care after the bell. Kids have a safe, supportive place to:
✔ Get homework support
✔ Build friendships and confidence
✔ Stay active and engaged
✔ Explore creative activities and new interests

And for working parents, that means more peace of mind during the school year—and more quality time together at home.

Programs are available at YMCA locations across our community, with transportation from select schools.

💧 Practice safety skills in the water with swim instructors
🦺 Learn how to properly wear a life jacket
❤️ Experience a CPR demo (for older youth and teens)
