YMCA Before and After School Care is available at more than 20 schools in Pierce & Kitsap Counties to help children build skills and confidence as they explore new interests and passions through the Y.

Led by experienced and caring staff, kids at the Y’s Early Learning Center are encouraged to use their creativity, develop new skills, and play with peers. We serve at locations in Puyallup and University Place

Registration opens June 1 to the community for the 2022-2023 school year.

The Y’s Summer Camp and Break Camps are designed to keep kids engaged and having fun while learning and spending time with friends old and new. There’s no better way to spend a school holiday or break.

"The Y really compliments and augments our school program with our students and also makes sure our classroom efforts are aligned. It’s about sitting down together and talking about what your reciprocal relationship is.”

Carla Santorno, Superintendent, Tacoma Public Schools

The Y employs youth development professionals, delivering quality programs focused on safety, health, social growth, and academic support so children grow and thrive in our care.
