Clipper Care Programs
Welcome to the YCS Clipper Care Program
Yarmouth Community Services (YCS) is pleased to provide childcare programs for your family. For the 2023-2024 school year we will be offering before and after care for Yarmouth students in grades kindergarten through 5th grade.
Our Clipper Care programs are designed to meet the needs of parents and guardians during the before and after school hours. The Clipper Care program encompasses a variety of activities from homework time to arts and crafts, games and outdoor play. We are very excited to offer a fun, safe and enriching program for your child during the time they are in our care.
The YCS Clipper Care programs are designed to support parents who need a safe place to send their children before and after school. The Clipper Care program is a recreational and educational program that is intended to complement your child’s school day. Whether it’s gearing up for the school day or after a long day of highly structured schoolwork, the program gives children an opportunity to choose from a variety of fun activities that are enriching, allow for exploration and socialization, and give your children a chance to relax.
