Before & After School Childcare
The Y operates a before and after-school childcare program at the Wayland Elementary School and after-school programs at the Y, Canisteo Elementary School, Arkport Central School, and Alfred-Almond Central School.
These are NYS licensed programs developed by the Y to foster a child's personal, physical, and emotional growth. Our programs encourage children to build friendships with children from different schools and backgrounds, foster self-confidence and independence and allow each child to learn the importance of caring and sharing with others. Children enjoy arts and crafts, gym activities, games, stories, and homework help. Children at our Hornell program receive regular art and swim time. Breakfast is offered in the Wayland morning program. A nutritious snack is served daily in all programs.

Do you need Childcare Assistance?
