After-School Child Care & Late Wednesday AM's

The YMCA believes the child care program should provide opportunities and experiences which stimulate a child's physical, social, intellectual and emotional development, In order to accomplish this, we provide gym activities, games, arts and crafts, books, healthy snacks and activities with other local agencies, The program meets the developmental needs of particular age groups as well as the individual needs of each child. The curriculum is based on the interests of the child and provides resources which will stimulate growth.

The after school program is licensed by New York State and operates Monday-Friday when school is in session. All after school care begins at school release until 6:00 pm. The Wayland/Cohocton morning school care begins at 6:45 am until school starts at 9:00 am.
