YMCA's Educational Academy Helps Parents with Remote Schooling

YMCA EDUCATIONAL ACADEMY: As your family begins to weigh the final decisions by local school districts we wanted to present our Educational Academy as an option to help with filling the gaps that remote learning may cause. We’ll be hosting full day child care in a safe and enriching environment with designated time to engage in remote learning, quiet spaces to complete assignments, and an in-person curriculum that will keep your child motivated, engaged and ahead throughout the school year.

As a new school year begins and that school year looks different than any other, the YMCA is committed to providing families with safe and enriching child care while ensuring that students have support in any remote learning they are doing with their schools. The YMCA has been providing child care and summer camp programs to children since the middle of March in a safe, caring and responsible way and we are excited about expanding upon that work by equipping children with the tools they need to succeed academically and socially in this new environment.

REMOTE LEARNING… IN PERSON SUCCESS

During the Y Educational Academy students will have designated time to engage in remote learning with their schools. Quiet spaces will be provided for students to meet with their teachers, complete assignments and further their studies. Staff and volunteers will be available to help students with their remote work.
To enhance what the schools are offering, the YMCA is partnering with BellXcel to provide in-person curriculum using LitArt. Each day during the Brain Power Hour, YMCA staff and volunteers will lead students in fun, project based, grade appropriate educational activities in math, literacy and writing. This work will help students stay ahead throughout the school year.

DAYS, LOCATIONS, TIMES AND COST

Our program will run Monday-Friday from 8:00am-5:30pm with families dropping off and picking up within those times at either the Westwood Park YMCA or YMCA Camp Sargent. To meet the varying schedules of area school districts, parents can register for various days within a week.
Daily cost is $40 per day. You may choose 1-5 consistent days per week and will be drafted on a weekly basis. Financial Assistance is available.
