2025-2026 School Year - Registration Now Open!

Our Before and After School Care program is designed to provide care for children while parents/caregivers are working.  We emphasize the Y’s four core values in character development – caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility – in every activity and interaction. 

Our goals for the program are to provide:

  • A warm, caring and safe environment
  • Each child the opportunity to develop their self-confidence and social skills
  • Developmentally appropriate activities that stimulate creativity and encourage learning through fun and discovery.

Since the 2016-17 school year, our program at the Buena Regional School District provides Before and After School programming at three schools in the Buena School District: Cleary Elementary, Collings Lake Elementary, and Milanesi Elementary.
