YKIDS Before & Afterschool Care

Childcare at the Y is about more than looking after kids. It’s about nurturing their development and providing a safe place to learn. For more than 30 years, the Y has been offering Before and After School Care. Y-Kids is a School-Based State Licensed Child Care Program designed to help families build self-sufficiency by providing safe, affordable, high-quality childcare.

Y-Kids sites for children are located in the following partnering school districts of Toms River, Berkeley and Manchester. Each school district has a different schedule, be sure to view downloads. If available our school day AM program begins at 6:30AM until the start of school. Our PM program begins when school ends and goes until 6:00PM. Each site will be limited to 10 children.
