We are excited to launch a new program for the 2024-2025 school year designed for students 8 and older here at the Y! At the YMCA, members ages 8 and older are able to enter and use areas of the facility without a parent/guardian directly with them; however, we understand families are looking for guided supervision for their children after school outside of a Y Care or school setting. We have developed the YMCA PEAK (Promoting Enrichment, Adventure, Knowledge) Program- an unlicensed care program as a flexible after school care option for your child. During PEAK, we will offer opportunities for your child to discover new interests, create friendships, develop problem solving skills, burn endless energy, and engage in a variety of interest-based enrichment programming after school.

Billing & Funding:

• With this flexible care option, you will be able to register your child individually for each day. You will be able to pick and choose dates of attendance that best work for your family.
• Unable to use alternative funding (WI Shares, Child Care AWARE funds, etc). YMCA scholarship funds would still be available.
• Billing for the program will be a little different than Y Care as parents will be able to choose a drafted option or pay upfront for sessions (days) registering for.
• The program fees would be less than the traditional Y Care program due to reduced program time.
• As a YMCA member exclusive program, the fee for the program is $8.00 per day, with a one-time non-refundable $25.00 deposit per participant.
• Cancellation Policy:
  • Cancellations 14 days or more in advance of the program date will not incur any charges.
  • Cancellations between 7-13 days of the program date, will billed for 50% of the daily rate ($4.00).
  • Cancellations within 6 days of the program date will be billed for the full daily rate ($8.00)

Registration for January-June school year dates will be available on October 15th.
