The Galowich Family YMCA will host a Back to School ‘meet and greet’ from 10-11 a.m. on Saturday, August 20, for area families looking to learn more about the Y’s before and after school programs. The information session will be held at the Y’s Joliet location, 749 Houbolt Road, and will provide students and their parents with an opportunity to learn more about festivities planned for the upcoming school year.
As part of its Kidz Zone program, the Greater Joliet Area YMCA partners with several school districts throughout Will and Grundy Counties to provide recreational before and after school activities for students at nearly 40 schools. The Galowich Family YMCA currently operates Kidz Zone programs at 21 schools in Joliet District 86, Troy District 30C and Minooka School District 201, serving more the 100 families each year.
During the school year, Kidz Zone programs are open from 7-9 a.m. (approximately) before school, and 3:30-6 p.m. (approximately) after school. Programming is also available at the Galowich Family YMCA on days when school is not in session, including holiday and spring breaks. Daily activities include arts and crafts, games and recreational activities.
