ENHANCING YOUR CHILD’S SCHOOL DAY

We have changed our plan to match the school hybrid schedule this fall.

We’ve got you covered.

Helping elementary school age children reach their potential

Program Dates & Times: 

• August 31 through May 28. We generally follow Marion City Schools (MCS) and Pleasant Local Schools calendars.
• Before school care: starting 6:45 am until school bus picks up at the Y. MCS will pick up for George Washington & Benjamin Harrison. Pleasant picks up for Pleasant Elementary.
• After school care: until 6:00 pm – Arrival at Y by MCS bus from George Washington & Benjamin Harrison or from Pleasant by Pleasant bus until 6:00 pm.
• Full Day Care: Will be offered while school districts operate on a hybrid in-school model due to COVID-19. The program will be offered Monday- Friday. Weekly fees are for a child to attend three days per week.

Location & Transportation

• Program is currently located at the YMCA 645 Barks Road East. We’re working with community partners on an alternative location if demand is greater than what we can accommodate at the Y.
• Benjamin Harrison (BH) and George Washington (GW) students: transportation from the Y to BH / GW and from BH / GW to the Y is provided by Marion City Schools. Transportation to & from BH / GW is available for students in grades K through 5 only. Parents should inform the school that their child is attending Y School Age Child Care (SACC).
• Pleasant students: The Y building is in the Pleasant School District; parents in Pleasant need to complete a babysitting form in their school office indicating the Y as their pick up / drop off location.

• Fees must be paid the Friday in advance through automatic draft. If opted out of automatic draft, there is an additional $5 fee per child per week. Your child is considered enrolled until you withdraw and fees are due regardless of attendance (exception for COVID-19 illness or quarantine).
• Financial Assistance with fees is available based on household size & income. More information is available marionymca.org/financialaid/

Fees for Full Day Care: One Time Nonrefundable Registration Fee: $30 per child (if you also registered for before & after school care, there’s no registration fee for Full Day Care). The YMCA will provide full day care Monday-Friday, while districts(s) are on a hybrid week due to COVID-19. The Y will facilitate classroom learning for students during this time. Fees are based on three full days of care, and are not adjusted for those that choose to come fewer than three days per week.

Meals: The YMCA will provide an afternoon snack for After School Care. We ask that children in Before School Care have breakfast at their school building. The Y will also provide breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack for Full Day Care participants.

Health Protocols: Health protocols will be in place including daily health screenings, daily temperature checks, limited access to program area by parents, all children & staff will wear a mask. Health protocols are subject to change based on current community conditions and recommendations from CDC, health departments and other experts.

Financial assistance and Publicly Funded Child Care (PFCC): Financial assistance is available for households that demonstrate financial need through the Y’s Membership Discount program. Contact the Y or visit our website www.marionymca.org/financialaid/. The YMCA is working with ODJFS to accept Publicly Funded Child Care. We hope to have this service available starting in October. However, we can’t guarantee this.

Registration: Register in person at the Y or online at marionymca.org/register. After initial registration, parents will need to complete all required registration forms prior to your child’s first day at the program. Parents will receive these forms by email.
