We are excited to share a new and innovative community partnership to support our students and families. In the 2019-2020 school year, St. Anthony de Padua Catholic school will be partnering with the YMCA to provide childcare before school, after school, and on days when school is not in session.

The YMCA staff will supervise children on the St. Anthony de Padua campus for Extended Care (before and after care), while providing quality programming and supervision by their staff trained in childcare. This partnership will allow St. Anthony de Padua Catholic School to focus its resources on providing an excellent school experience while bringing the YMCA’s experience and expertise in programming and childcare to our students and campus.

All day to day operations of the Extended Care Program, including scheduling, programming, staffing, billing, and general management of the program, will be handled by the YMCA. This service, while administered by the YMCA, will be provided on our campus and will only be available to St. Anthony students. The administrators of the YMCA program are committed to partnering with our administration to ensure expected behaviors and values are aligned.

Program highlights are listed below.  Please see the attached handbook for complete program particulars. 

Registrations are being accepted via the attached form.

• Before school program - 6:30am-7:40am

Notes:

• Late Pick-Up Fees: Late pick-up fees will be charged for children not picked up by the grace period of 6:05pm. There will be a $1 per minute charge for children not picked up after that time.
• If your child has not been picked up by 7:00pm and the extended care site has had no contact with parents/guardians, the proper authorities will be notified.
• SOYI (School’s Out Y’s In): During Fall Break, Christmas Break, Spring Break, Days Off and Summer, the YMCA of Michiana offers many camps at their Riverside Campus. This is a separate program from the Extended Care Program and requires a separate fee.
