The Y is here to support you and your children during the school year when children aren't under your care. The YMCA's supervised youth programs like After the Bell and After School Enrichment provide after-school care and extends school-day learning through fun, project-based activities in STEM, arts & crafts, physical activity, and nutrition.

Washington State Working Connections Child Care Subsidy Program
Working Connections Child Care (WCCC) helps eligible families pay for child care. When a family qualifies for child care subsidy benefits and chooses an eligible provider, the state pays a portion of the cost of child care. Parents may be responsible for a copayment to their provider each month. Read more online on the state website.
YMCA Financial Support
At the Y, everyone belongs. We offer financial support for membership and programs so that no one is turned away due to inability to pay. Read more about our Financial Support opportunities here.
