Excel After the Bell!
Our Afterschool Care program provides a nurturing and supportive environment for children to thrive outside of regular school hours. With a focus on academic enrichment, social development, and engaging activities, we ensure that children continue to learn and grow in a fun-filled setting. Our dedicated staff members create a safe space where children can receive homework assistance, participate in stimulating projects, and engage in recreational activities. Join our Afterschool Care program and give your child the opportunity to excel academically, build lasting friendships, and develop essential life skills.
YMCA Afterschool provides care when school is out following both the Gaston County Schools and Piedmont Community Charter School calendars in six locations throughout Gaston County. Space is limited and all students must be registered to attend.
See the YMCA information below to find your child’s school Afterschool location.
