Y Kids
Y-Kids provides before and after school and summer programs (both fee-based and ELOP) for TK-5th graders. We serve Albany, Castro Valley, Fremont, Mt Diablo, San Ramon Valley, and West Contra Unified School Districts.
Out-of-School Care & Enrichment
The Y Kids Program empowers children to explore their interests, build new skills, and discover their potential in a safe and inspiring community.
We provide high quality before-and-after school programs focused on academic achievement, creative curiosity, and physical activity. We offer homework support, enrichment opportunities, hands-on learning activities, play and movement, and engaging field trips. Our program runs throughout the school year, with summer day camps and summer enrichment also available.
Some Y Kids programs are fee-based, while others operate through California's Extended Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP). Cost and registration will vary depending on your school district and family eligibility.
