ENRICHING CHILDREN’S LIVES GREATER BURLINGTON YMCA Before and AfterSchool Program BARRE TOWN MIDDLE & ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Our Philosophy The Greater Burlington YMCA is committed to providing children with a safe, enriching environment where they can spend their before and afterschool hours. Our highly trained School Age staff fosters positive growth by offering developmentally appropriate activities that promote social, physical, creative and cognitive growth. Children are empowered to make their own choices about how they spend their time. History We began offering our School Age programs in 1985— serving approximately 30 children at two sites. We now offer the broadest School Age programming in the state, with numerous programs in four different counties. Each day, hundreds of children further their educational, social, and healthy lifestyle pursuits with the Y; because of this, we are now recognized as the leader in School Age care in Vermont. The AfterSchool Curriculum Y AfterSchool provides children with a variety of fun and stimulating activities throughout the school year. Our curriculum compliments the school day with extended learning opportunities that include sports, outdoor play, the arts, skill building, clubs, STEM, literacy, and more.
The BeforeSchool Curriculum Y BeforeSchool provides children with a variety of fun and stimulating activities throughout the school year, such as board games, Legos, block play, art, outside play, quiet time, reding, homework and gym games. Children choose which activities to participate in. Our Staff Y staff are selected for their education, enthusiasm and experience working with school age children. All staff meet Vermont State licensing requirements with regard to education and experience. Each schoolbased Y AfterSchool location has a Site Director who is responsible for developing and implementing the program. Each Director has, at minimum, one staff assistant for every 12 children in the program. Administrative functions of Y AfterSchool are conducted by Julie Peterson, Director of School Age Programs and Tricia Pawlik, Director of Youth and Family Programs. Schedule & Calendar Y BeforeSchool runs Monday through Friday from 7a.m. until the start of the school day. Y AfterSchool programs run Monday – Friday, from the dismissal of school until 6 pm. Programs at each site correspond to the school calendar for that district. During most school vacations, a full-day program is offered at select program locations. Information about these and other options will be provided in the fall. Enrollment Options You may enroll your child in Y BeforeSchool or AfterSchool for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 days a week. Enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis. A minimum enrollment of 12 children per day is required for the program to operate at a site. The YMCA reserves the right to cancel sites due to insufficient enrollment as of July 2nd.

School Closings Weekly tuition is the same, regardless of school closings or child’s absence. When a school is closed due to snow, Y BeforeSchool & AfterSchool at the site is closed as well. There will be no credit for emergency closings imposed by the school district. These include any unplanned early-release days. The Y Program will make up snow days, if the school calendar dictates, at the end of the year. If school is closed for a full week, you are not responsible for tuition for that week. Updated tuition policies and procedures will be mailed out with your confirmation letter. Additional Fees An annual processing fee of $30, and the first week’s tuition, is required with each application. The annual processing fee is independent of tuition. Both the annual processing fee and first week’s tuition are non-refundable. Here for You Everyone belongs at the Y, regardless of ability to pay. The generosity of our members and donors, through the Y's Annual Campaign, means that we can offer all of our School Age programs at reduced prices through scholarships and subsidies for qualifying families. Should you wish to apply for financial assistance, you may obtain an application by calling the Y at 802-8629622, or by visiting our website at www.gbymca.org. Your completed application, as well as the Y School Age application, must be sent together.

If enrolling after the start of the school year, your application must be received at least five working days prior to your desired start date. This start date may not be possible due to staffing, funding, or other extenuating circumstances. We will contact you to confirm your child’s actual start date.
