Children and Youth Development and Education Center

 

The YWCA Children and Youth Development and Education Center, located in Homewood-Brushton, provides quality, comprehensive early development and education and out-of-school time programming for children six weeks to twelve years of age. Our child-focused, individualized education, and low staff-student ratios successfully encourage learning, school-readiness, and extra-learning opportunities in a safe and nurturing environment. We accept these funding sources: Private Pay Parents, Child Care Partnerships and CCIS, County Assistance Office, Children Youth and Families, and United Way.

 

School-age and Out of School-Time Programs (for ages 5 to 12)

 

Our School-age program has 5 programs. Each program and times are listed below. We serve children five to twelve years of age. Enhancing the in-school programming, our child-centered, literacy-focused program provides extra-learning opportunities and academic enrichment. Our affective program encourages and builds character, skills, and enhances self-esteem. Before and after school transportation is available to local schools. 

 

Before-School Program

Our program provides services for five to twelve year-old school-age children, who attend local public, private, charter, and parochial schools. We provide transportation to many local schools.  Breakfast is served daily.

 

After-School Program

After each school day, our practitioners provide educational and recreational programming for five to twelve year-old school-age children. These extra learning opportunities often include our community partners, such as the Carnegie Science Center, Frick Arts Museum and Highmark SPARK Program. Nutritious meals are prepared on-site.

 

Extended Day Program

On Pittsburgh Public Schools vacation and in-service days, the YWCA provides extra learning educational and recreational opportunities for five to twelve year old school-age children. This full-day program includes meals, programs, activities and much more. 

 

Summer Camp Program

Children, five to twelve years of age, attend a fun-filled ten-week comprehensive summer camp packed with extra-learning, recreational and field trip opportunities. Field trips include all three major amusement parks, local attractions, Pgh. Pirate game and more.  Meals are provided and extended care services are available.

 

Summer Extended Program

Children enrolled in the summer camp program may enjoy additional recreational activities in the summer extended program. Parents / guardians may choose the AM extended program from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., the PM extended program from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., or both.
