KidStop After School Program

The YMCA KidStop Afterschool Program is an after-school childcare program for student's grades Kindergarten through 5th grade. The program runs Monday-Friday from school dismissal until 5:30pm. Various structured activities are provided each day that take advantage of the YMCA facilities that include the Kid Center, Classroom, Playground, Gym and Aquatic Center. The groups also utilize Rawlins Library and outside areas when weather permits.

The YMCA KidStop Afterschool Program is designed to provide quality safe childcare for families after school where children learn new things, make friends, be physically and mentally active and have fun! The YMCA also promotes our Character Development program that emphasizes the values of respect, honesty, responsibility and caring. These basic core values are built into the activities and fun times experienced by each child. We hope that the families of our kids will help us in supporting these characteristics by reminding each child to be courteous and respectful at all times. This includes time on the buses, at the YMCA, to one another and our toys.

We look forward to having you join us this fall! See you then!
