WHERE KIDS PLAY & EXCEL BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL


Club Kid at The Center provides safe, fun, and supervised care before and after school for Kindergarten through middle school students (up to age 13) within the Middletown School District. Transportation to and from the schools is provided by the YMCA. The Y strives to provide an exciting and stimulating environment, giving children the opportunity to make activity choices that best suit their individual needs and interests while encouraging personal growth, socialization, and an appreciation for diversity. The YMCA Core Values of CARING, RESPECT, HONESTY, and RESPONSIBILITY are reflected in all that we do.
The AM Club Kid program helps children start the day right with activities such as arts and crafts, games, and quiet time for last-minute school projects. In the PM Club Kid program children choose their activities; snack, homework time, arts and crafts, outside play, gym time, and other special events to create a diverse afternoon full of FUN.
