School-Age Care and Recreation

The YWCA operates safe, recreational before and after-school care for children ages 5-12 at up to six sites during the school year, depending on the need for care and enrollment. Children can choose from a variety of activities. All sites provide a snack, use of a large outdoor play area, gym time (depending on school and time of year), various games, art materials, time for reading or homework, and just plain fun!

Families enrolled in the School-Age program also receive access to register for full-day and full-week care at the YWCA for school holidays and breaks.

Full-day and full-week care at the YWCA Cortland site during the school year requires pre-enrollment and mandatory sign-up, as space is very limited. We provide snacks, activities, swim time, and lunch to the children with full-day and full-week enrollment; you can send lunch from home.
