The first step in the enrollment process for the Kindergarten Afterschool Program is to complete the following enrollment form. Once you have completed the entire form an email will be sent confirming we have received your completed enrollment form. A West Cook YMCA team member will follow up to confirm the next steps.
You can register up to 2 children residing in the same household. Additional forms that will be required include your child(ren)'s health exam form so please prepare to have it on hand so that when our staff reach out to complete the process you will be able to upload with your registration packet.
The YMCA follows the School District 90 Calendar, and for days those students are in school, the afterschool program will be operating, including half days or early release days. The program will not be operating on days that school is closed, including inclement weather days in which the school closes. The program will run Monday- Friday from the end of the school day until 5:30 pm.
