SCHOOL AGE CHILDCARE

WILTON FAMILY YMCA AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM

Enrollment for the 2026-2027 School Year is OPEN!

At the Riverbrook Regional YMCA, our Afterschool Program provides children with a safe, supportive, and enriching environment where they can learn, grow, and connect after the school day ends. Designed for children in Kindergarten through 6th grade, our Connecticut State-licensed program offers a balance of academic support, recreation, and opportunities for social development.

The Afterschool Program operates from school dismissal until 6:30 PM and follows the Wilton Public Schools calendar, providing families with a reliable and engaging extension of the school day.

A Place to Learn, Play, and Belong

We believe the hours after school are an important time for children to relax, explore interests, build friendships, and develop independence. In our welcoming and inclusive environment, children are encouraged to discover their strengths, build confidence, and develop important social and emotional skills.

Through a variety of age-appropriate experiences, we support the whole child by promoting:

Positive peer relationships
Self-confidence and independence
Physical activity and healthy habits
Creativity and artistic expression
Emotional growth and well-being
Academic success through homework support

Engaging Daily Activities

Each day brings new opportunities for children to learn and have fun. While activities vary by age group, all participants enjoy a balance of structured programming and free-choice time.

Children can look forward to:

Homework assistance and quiet study time
Arts and crafts projects
Gym and outdoor activities
Recreational swimming
Team-building games
Social time with friends
Special events and enrichment activities

Our goal is to create an experience where children feel supported, engaged, and excited to return each day.

Age-Appropriate Programming

To ensure activities meet the developmental needs and interests of our participants, children are grouped by age:

Juniors: Kindergarten-2nd Grade
Seniors: 3rd-6th Grade

Each group follows a daily schedule designed to encourage growth, independence, and meaningful connections with peers and staff.

An Inclusive Community

The Riverbrook Regional YMCA is committed to creating an environment where every child feels welcome, valued, and supported. We strive to accommodate the individual needs of our participants whenever possible.

For information regarding accommodations or support for children with special needs, please contact Kimberly Fejes at kfejes@riverbrookymca.org.
