Hernando School Age Programs 
YMCA's are dedicated to providing high-quality, affordable School Age programming. As the nation's largest provider of School Age programs, including Before and After School care, YMCAs provide family-centered, values-based programs to nurture children's healthy development.
Our well-trained staff provides safe, affordable, high-quality programs so you can have peace of mind while you work. School Age programming, like all YMCA programs, is open to all, with financial aid available. Staff members are partners with parents and other caregivers, working together to help kids grow up healthy, happy and strong.
The YMCA School Age Programs provides safe, affordable and quality curriculum for children 4 years old to 8th grade during the out of school hours. Children engage in activities, which benefit them emotionally, socially and physically.
Programs open at 6:30 a.m. and close at 6:00 p.m.
With an emphasis on caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility, our programs are value-driven and committed to providing a safe, supportive and fun environment for children.
YMCA School Age Programs help children grow physically, mentally and spiritually. YMCA Programs include character development, international education, health and fitness, environmental awareness, school readiness, diversity, and community service.
Charitable contributions to the YMCA enable us to provide financial assistance on a sliding scale. We promise that everyone who qualifies will receive assistance to the greatest extent possible based on the availability of funds
