YMCA Child Care Programs
The YMCA of the Greater Tri-Cities is proud to offer the School-Age Child Care (before & after school) program, to youth in our community in kindergarten through 5th grade. All of our child care sites are licensed by the State of Washington and accept state subsidy (DSHS) payments.

Fees
We offer a variety of program options in order to accommodate different family schedules. Families are required to pay an annual $50 non-refundable registration fee/child, and a full month’s tuition payment due at the time of registration. Like all Y programs, child care is open to everyone; we accept DSHS payments and financial assistance is available to the extent possible thanks to the YMCA Annual Campaign.
