Jefferson County CEP YMCA School-Age Child Care
With so many demands on today's families, parents need all the help they can get. That's why the YMCA is America's largest nonprofit child care provider. Through our affordable before- and after-school child care programs, we create a safe, nurturing environment for children to learn, grow and develop social skills.
Intro
In partnership with Jefferson County Public schools, the Y offers the Childcare Enrichment Program (CEP) at sites throughout Jefferson County. Before and after school care is provided for students in grades K-8.
All of our highly trained, hand-picked staff are CPR and First Aid certified and receive extensive hours of training and professional development. We run background checks on all of our staff, so we know that we have the very best role models. Since safety is our priority, we make sure that we meet or exceed state staff-to-child ratios.

- All of our highly qualified staff are CPR and First Aid certified and receive extensive hours of training and professional development.

Snow Days
When schools are closed due to inclement weather, sites will be consolidated. We'll offer a full day of activities from 7 am to 6 pm for participants (traffic and weather permitting).
Snow day care is available for currently registered participants only and operates on a first-come, first-served basis. If a site reaches capacity, you may be asked to choose another location. Children should bring a sack lunch along with a hat, gloves, boots and a warm coat. Drinks and snacks are provided.
We will send out updates through our website, news channels, Facebook, Twitter and text messages.

In-Service Days
In order for children to attend child care during in-service days, registration must be completed. We will have sign-up sheets at all of our sites during each in-service day. Spaces are limited so sign up early! Unfortunately, full day care is not available for children in preschool.
Please send your child with a non-refrigerated sack lunch, we'll provide a healthy morning and afternoon snack. If your site is going on a field trip, please drop off your child by the designated time in order to ensure care for the day
In-service days will be included in your child's attendance for the week unless the full day is the only day they attend. If your child is signed up for a specific day, you will be charged for the full day of care, regardless of attendance.
