The Building Their Futures Place.

The Y is the place where kids discover new passions, make friends, and gain skills that last a lifetime.

Why Choose the Y?

  • Caring, trusted staff
  • Learning support and enrichment
  • Active play and healthy habits

Make this place your place for helping kids thrive beyond the school day!

The YMCA of Northwest North Carolina partners with local schools and school systems in Davie, Forsyth, Iredell, Stokes, and Wilkes counties to offer both before and after school care onsite in several schools throughout our five-county service area.

Before and After School Academy is part of the YMCA’s history of dedication to youth development. It was established to meet the needs of working parents while providing children with a fun, safe, and enriching environment.

Our program offers a variety of daily activities focusing on the following:

  • Academic support
  • CATCH curriculum
  • Confidence and character development
  • Fitness and health education
  • Games
  • Service learning
  • Homework support with certified teachers
  • YMCA Healthy eating and physical activity standards
  • Healthy snacks
  • Guest speakers and demonstrations
  • Arts and crafts
  • So much more!
