Out-of-School Days
The Gaston County Family YMCA offers child care options for school-aged children (K-8th grade) while schools are out for scheduled breaks including Teacher Work Days! Our Y staff plan a day filled with activities for your child. Care is offered from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm daily.
Possible activities include:
- Group Games
- Swimming
- Outdoor play
- Hands on projects

Children are asked to come prepared to play with activewear, closed-toed shoes, a lunch, a water bottle, and two snacks daily. Staff will communicate any special items needed, such as swimsuits.
