Our after school program at Salish Coast Elementary is a Washington State licensed childcare program and is eligible for subsidy through Working Connections Child Care (WCCC), which helps qualifying families pay for childcare. The program runs on campus Monday–Friday until 6:00 p.m.
We’re excited to share a NEW benefit:
Every child enrolled in our after school program—whether they receive WCCC subsidy or not—will now receive a FREE YMCA household membership! This applies to both current and new enrollees.
In addition, families will have the opportunity to access free resource navigation services through the Y’s successful support program.
We’re thrilled to offer these added services to support our families!
