Back to School
KIDS EXCEL AT THE Y
The school year will look different this year and the YMCA of Greater Charlotte wants to ensure that children have access to all of the opportunities they need to learn, grow and thrive. Whether it is a safe and enriching environment to go to after class, a cool new way to learn digitally or an immersive experience in nature, the Y is committed to creating education-driven programs that enhance your child’s school year.
Our programs are built with your child’s safety at the forefront. We are taking precautions outlined by the CDC to ensure the health and safety of staff and participants, including limited class sizes, assigning students to one classroom for an entire week and modifying adult to student ratios.
No matter if kids learn in our classrooms, enroll in our digital courses or supplement their existing curriculum with outdoor experiences, we offer several customizable options to fit your family’s unique needs this year. Explore all of our back to school programs below and learn without limits!
