Before School CAre - Pilot Program

2/6/2013

Beginning in February, South Mountain YMCA is offering a Drop-In Before Care program at Tuscan School. This service is offered to those families who do not need before school care on a daily basis, but rather, on an “as needed” basis for occasional use.
The program is a new pilot program in partnership with Tuscan School and South Mountain YMCA.

Thank you to Principal Ms. Majeed and Irene Gallagher of the YMCA for collaborating on this pilot as an offering for Tuscan families!

Financial assistance is available through the YMCA, find the link here. The form and financial assistance information are also on our Flyers page.
