School-Age Centers

Our centers for school-age children are fun AND educational! Children are provided a set-aside time for, and assistance with their homework. There are plenty of opportunities to make friends, play games, and get some fresh air. A big benefit of this program is that children are able to develop important trusting relationships with our staff—our annual staff turnover rate is less than 5%!

Our centers are licensed by the State of California. Centers are open Monday through Friday. Please see specific centers for exact hours. Rates are reasonable; click here for our rate sheet. Subsidized help is available to qualifying families.

The school years are an exciting, challenging time. The YWCA staff helps kids understand how to balance the new social situations and ideas they're learning about with a healthy respect for strong values and personal responsibility.
