Hernando County School Age Programs

The YMCA School Age Programs provides safe, affordable and quality curriculum for children 4 years old to 8th grade during the out of school hours. Children engage in activities, which benefit them emotionally, socially and physically.

Programs open at 6:30 a.m. and close at 6:00 p.m.

With an emphasis on caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility, our programs are value-driven and committed to providing a safe, supportive and fun environment for children.

YMCA School Age Programs help children grow physically, mentally and spiritually. YMCA Programs include character development, international education, health and fitness, environmental awareness, school readiness, diversity, and community service.

Charitable contributions to the YMCA enable us to provide financial assistance on a sliding scale. We promise that everyone who qualifies will receive assistance to the greatest extent possible based on the availability of funds.
