BASE “Before and After School Enrichment”

The Kenosha YMCA Before and After school program is more than just a safe place for your child. It is a program of enrichment and learning for everyday life. At the Kenosha Y, we strengthen community through youth development because we believe that a community is stronger when all children have the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve.

Our caring staff team follows all state licensing standards while nurturing the potential of every child. Daily structured activities based on teaching the Four Core Values of honesty, respect, responsibility and caring are balanced with “choice-free time”.

Registration Open for Virtual Care

WE WILL BE OFFERING FULL DAY with VIRTUAL LEARNING SUPPORT FOR THE 2021-22 SCHOOL YEAR.
