Our Philosophy
- To provide quality care for children, regardless of socio/economic background
- To support and strengthen the family unit
- To help children develop to their fullest potential
- To deliver the program in a positive Y environment of safety, support and care.
- To ensure and enforce a zero tolerance policy regarding Child Abuse and Neglect
Y afterschool programs foster each child's cognitive, social-emotional and physical development through opportunities and experiences which focus on achievement, relationships, and belonging.
The planning of each activity is offered in a physically and emotionally safe environment consistent with evidence-based principles of youth development: each child is encouraged to develop at his or her own unique rate by encouraging skill development and frequent leadership opportunities.
South County Y Club parents say:
"It is a great way to run off energy after the school day. My son has often told me not to pick him up early because he has so much fun there."
"As a household of two working parents, it has been a huge relief and comfort having a safe space for our child to be before and after school. It eases a burden and stress for us not having to drastically change our work hours and we know that he is getting a great, dynamic program.
