After-School Program

 

Our program is open to any child or fmaily, provided the child meets age specifications. No child will be discriminated against because of race, gender, color, national origin, religion, or handicap. The YMCA reserves the right ot refuse services if a child is excessively disruptive, violent, has behavioral problems, strikes out at the staff, or consistently fails to obey the rules or the request of the staff.

 

Transportation: For evening pickup of youth, we require five students from each of the locations of pickup to attend the YMCA ASP. If we do not meet the five required students, the school location will not be be a pickup point.

 

Morning Drop off is at the YMCA located at 1703 McFarland Rd. After School Pick up is at the Karns Academy located at 300 West 9th Street. Upon arrival at the YMCA, you must stop by the front desk and sign your child in by 7:15am for transportation to the school they are attending. Upon arrival at Karn's Academy you must stop by the front desk and sign your child out, they must be signed out with the time and initials of the individual that is picking up. Please remember that we will only release your child to you or to those listed as your emergency contacts. If a person picking up your child is not known to us (but is listed as an emergency contact), we will ask to see a picture I.D. prior to releasing your child.

 

The YMCA participates in the USDA food program, and follows the standards set within it. If you would like more information on the program in Kansas, please visit http://www.kn-eat.org. An After-school meal will be provided for the youth upon their arrival from their school. Please ask for the meal modification form at the time of registration. If your child has any special needs or allergies of any type, please make sure that is is documented in your registration packet and the YMCA staff is informed.
