YMCA Kirkwood Branch Valley Park Elementary
Center in Valley Park, MO 63088
Y Club, formerly known as YMCA School-Age child care, makes certain that the time gaps before and after school are filled creatively and constructively. Kids have the opportunity to express their talents in the arts, sports and other areas of interest, taking advantage of all the Y has to offer.
Parents should rest easy in knowing that Y Club is licensed by the State of Missouri and all child care staff members receive extensive training through the national and local YMCA. The Y cares for more than 5,400 kids in school-age child care programs and another 500 in Early Childhood Education Centers every day.
The Y is an advocate for children and our voice is heard on the national, state and local level. The YMCA of Greater St. Louis is involved with the National School-Age Child Care Alliance, National Association for the Education of Young Children, Missouri School-Age Child Care Community, the St. Louis Youth Provider Network, Child Day Care Association, St. Louis Partnership and United Way.
Our Philosophy 1. To provide quality care for children, regardless of socio/economic background. 2. To support and strengthen the family unit. 3. To help children develop to their fullest potential. 4. To deliver the program in a positive YMCA environment of safety, support and care. The YMCA School Age Child Care Program provides a high quality, safe, convenient, recreational environment for children and teens regardless of ability. Open communication and collaboration with the school regarding your child(ren)s behavior and individual needs will be ongoing. The YMCA program centers on activity stations, which provides children with free choice options. Additional enhancement activities are also implemented to compliment the school day. The YMCA believes that children learn through play and structured recreational activities.
