YMCA Camp Ockanickon’s School’s Out and Extended Kindergarten Programs provide a safe and fun environment led by active, adult role models that promotes positive youth development. Serving children and youth from Kindergarten through 8th Grade in the child’s own school, the Programs provide families with quality, consistent care before and after school hours.

Led by the YMCA, the nation’s largest provider of child care, the School’s Out/Extended Kindergarten Program is flexible and affordable. Choose from before and/or after care or AM or PM Kindergarten sessions from 2 days a week to 5 days a week. You may also choose to be a “drop-in” participant (only applies to School’s Out), just utilizing the program for special occasions or as you need it.

The School’s Out experience is grounded in a set of seven objectives that characterize all YMCA school age programs:

Promote positive youth development
Develop strong relationships
Build strong partnerships with young people, families, schools and communities
Create a fun and safe environment
Support working families
Foster opportunities for learning
Have fun
