After School is available to children in
Kindergarten through Fifth Grade (Ages 5-11). Monday through
Friday 2:45PM to 5:30PM while Ashland Schools are in session.
Currently, Hager, Poage, Charles Russell, and Oakview are the
only schools that provide transportation to the YMCA. You can
contact your school board to find out if your school can too.
The cost is $35 per child per week for Y
Members and $60 per child per week for Non-Members. We have a
limited amount of space available so all registrants are charged
for the entire week each Monday whether the child attends or not
to hold their spot. Balances cannot be tolerated. We will allow
for one week of vacation time per school year.
To request a spot for our After School
Program you will need to speak with someone in our Child Care
Office. If we have an opening you will be able to register your
child there as well.
If you are a state subsidy recipient, you
must provide your contract prior to beginning care.
In addition to filling out the entire
School Aged Program Packet, we will need a copy of your child’s
immunization record which must include the Commonwealth of
Kentucky Seal and expiration date. If you have previously given
us an approved copy of this record, please check with us to see
if we need an updated copy.
We strive to provide a safe fun-filled,
positive place for your child to come to each evening after
school. Children will arrive to the YMCA on an Ashland
Independent School bus. We will wait at the main YMCA entrance
for the buses for your child’s safety. Each day your child will
be provided with a healthy snack and drink as well as a chance
to relax and watch some TV after a long day at school. On
Mondays, homework help will come next. If your child does not
have homework, reading a book will be encouraged. During this
time there will be no TV or playing games so that the kids have
a chance to concentrate and get some work out of the way.
Throughout the year we will do some art projects and various
other activities throughout the building. Otherwise, we will
wrap up each evening with free play or group games. You will
always find a sign on the After School Room door letting you
know where we are at pickup time. Overall, we want to provide
your child with a fun-filled, learning rich environment for them
to grow and thrive.
Comfortable clothing and tennis shoes are
preferred as we will be playing hard! The After School Program
ends at 5:30PM. You will be charged $2 for each child for each
minute you are late past 5:30PM. If you do not pick up your
child by 6:30PM authorities will be contacted.
