Clipper Care Programs
Welcome to the YCS Clipper Care Program
Yarmouth Community Services (YCS) is pleased to provide childcare programs for your family. During the school year we offer before and after care for Yarmouth students in grades Pre-K (starting in Sept 2024) through 5th grade.
Our Clipper Care programs are designed to meet the needs of parents and guardians during the before and after school hours. Clipper Care program encompasses a variety of activities from homework time to arts and crafts, games and outdoor play. We offer a fun, safe and enriching program for your child while they are in our care.
Clipper Care is a recreational and educational program that complements 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, allow for exploration and socialization, and give your children a chance to relax.
