School Age Child Care

Sussex County YMCA’s Before and After School Child Care Programs offer peace of mind to working parents by providing programs on site at your child’s school. Our staff provide homework assistance, lead sports, games and crafts, and organize special events, keeping your child safe and happy until they are picked up. All children receive a daily snack at the program.

Programs are offered at the following schools:

Before Care Programs are held at the Blairstown, Hardyston Elementary and Montague Schools.  After School Programs are held at Franklin Elementary, Hardyston Elementary, Montague, Blairstown, and Hardyston Middle Schools. Half day option for Hardyston Middle School.
