Before & After School

At the YMCA we believe that early experiences set the foundations for lifelong learning and healthy lifestyles.

We offer after-school programming in multiple schools across Cape Breton for children in pre-primary to grade 6. These programs have a focus on active play, physical literacy, social skill development, and inclusive and culturally responsive practices.

Program Highlights:

  • All programs are located directly in the school to promote a seamless transition for children
  • Children are provided with a healthy after-school snack each day
  • Participants spend at least 60 minutes outdoors daily and are encouraged to spend time outdoors in most weather conditions
  • All programs run from school dismissal until 5:30pm
