The YMCA is the largest childcare provider in the United States, and for good reason! Since the 1980s, the YMCA of Reading and Berks County has proudly delivered high-quality, attentive childcare to families throughout our region.
About School’s Out Programming |
Our School’s Out Half-Day and Full-Day Care programs offer a safe, fun, and enriching environment for children in kindergarten through sixth grade when school is closed for scheduled in-service days or early dismissals.
While you’re at work, your child will enjoy engaging, age-appropriate activities that make the most of their day and help them grow academically and socially.
What to Expect
Each School’s Out day includes:
- Fun and educational games and activities
- Sports and physical play
- Hands-on STEAM learning
- Nutritious and delicious snacks
- A chance to build friendships and social skills
Note: Parents are required to provide a packed lunch for their child.
Registration Information
- Advance registration is required by the Friday before care is needed.
