Before & After School Care
Offered in Public Schools in Montclair, Bloomfield, Verona and Cedar Grove
The YMCA of Montclair Extended Day program is designed to provide care for children while parents are working. This program focuses on building self confidence and character. We emphasize the Y’s four core values in character development — caring, honesty, respect and responsibility – in every activity and interaction.
Are you looking for:
- A safe and caring environment for your child before or after school with an experienced staff?
- Dependable and consistent care for your child during your working hours?
- A place for your child to interact with other children their own age at their own school?
- A variety of activities to enhance your child’s day that are fun and exciting?
- Your child to be active after school instead of in front of a TV?
- An opportunity for your child to complete their homework in a supervised environment?
If you have answered yes to any of the above questions, then you have found the best place for your child before or after school.
