Half Day Kindergarten

Let the YMCA Fill the Gaps!

Partial-day kindergarten programs pose a practical problem: what if neither parent is available to care for their children during the time they are out of kindergarten? The answer is the YMCA’s Half Day Kindergarten program. We always aim to build on the school day while offering your favorite YMCA programs. The ultimate mix of learning and play!

If your child requires full-day care or has moved on to grade school, you can learn more about our YMCA Child Development Centers and School Age Child Care programs.

NOTE: If you wish to fill out your childcare forms online, please be sure to download and complete them in Adobe. Do not fill out forms in your web browser or on your phone.
