Kids Day Off/Early Dismissal
It seems like kids have more days off than they used to with all of the holidays, institute days, early dismissals and so on and so on. If you are looking for a safe, fun and active place to have your kids stay on days where school is out, bring them to the Foglia YMCA's Kids Day Off program!
No more sitting at home stuck in front of the TV falling into mindless video games for hour upon hour. Here at the Y we keep you moving and with fun activities such as taking field trips, swimming in our pools, playing kickball with friends, making crafts such as play dough and testing our your chef skills with making deserts such as caramel taffy apples!
The Foglia YMCA provides child care for District 95 days off and early dismissal days for children enrolled in our Before and After School Age Child Care Program.
The program will be offered at the Foglia YMCA facility. Information will be distributed at the program sites or for further information, please call Jenna Stanonik, School Age Child Care Director, at (847) 410-5373. Download flyer and registration form
