Before and After School Care

heyzine flipbook cover 21

THE WHERE KIDS THRIVE PLACE

The Y’s Child Care program provides a safe, enriching and fun environment for kids to enjoy. We strive to meet the needs of our families while providing quality experiences for the children in our programs. Where and how children spend their time is vital to their growth and success in life.

As an organization dedicated to youth development, we are working closely with the Board of Education! We’re happy to be able to provide that place, allowing your child’s social, emotional, physical and academic journey to continue long. Are also proud to be able to provide you and your family with the services required to remain healthy.

We help kids reach their potential and thrive in a safe, trustworthy setting. We offer a curriculum that aligns with the school day and supports growth in literacy, science, math, science, engineering and technology (STEM) while infusing the arts, physical activity and fun. We teach kids confidence, encourage self-expression and enrich social development. Providing our youth with the support, encouragement and positive role models that they need, will not only increase their ability to succeed in school but in life. For families, we offer a peace of mind knowing that your child is in a safe and educational program building new relationships and achieving more.

Everyone belongs at the Y. To ensure that all youth have the chance to participate, the Y offers financial assistance to those in need. Please talk with us to learn more. If you’d like to help send a child to child care, you can donate easily on our web site or at our Y. We also participate in the State of CT Care4Kids program.

Healthy Kids Day 2026

Flyer – English 3

A Day of Fun, Family and Healthy Living — For All

At the Y, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to grow up healthy, confident and connected. That’s why we’re excited to invite you to Healthy Kids Day — a free, community-wide event designed to inspire youth and families to build healthy habits that last all year long.

Healthy Kids Day is more than a single day of activities. It’s a celebration of what’s possible when families, neighbors and community partners come together to support the well-being of every young person.

What to Expect

More information on events & activities will be shared soon.

Why Healthy Kids Day Matters

Today’s families face many challenges — from busy schedules to access barriers that can make it harder to prioritize physical activity and well-being. At the Y, we work year-round to ensure all children and teens have access to safe spaces, nurturing mentors and opportunities to thrive.

Healthy Kids Day reflects our commitment to:

Youth Development – Empowering young people to reach their full potential

Healthy Living – Improving individual and community well-being

Social Responsibility – Ensuring every family has access to the support they need

We never turn anyone away due to inability to pay, and we are committed to removing barriers so every child can participate, connect and grow.

For Families of All Backgrounds

The Y is proud to be a place where people from all backgrounds and experiences can be, belong and become. Healthy Kids Day is open to everyone — whether you’re a long-time member or visiting the Y for the first time.

Our staff and volunteers are here to create a safe, inclusive space where children of all abilities can fully participate and families feel welcomed and supported.
