Youth and Teens / Before & After Care

Before and After School Enrichment Program
The YMCA recognizes that the availability of affordable, quality child care poses one of the greatest hurdles for working parents. Our state licensed school age child care program operates at the Y, offering a variety of age appropriate enrichment and recreational activities. Daily homework assistance time is scheduled. As one of the largest providers of child care in the state of Tennessee, we have a special commitment to families in Whitehaven and surrounding communities to provide them access to high-quality, affordable Before and After School childcare.

Before Care: $50

After Care: $55

Before & After Care: $63
