Play & Learn Child Enrichment Program

The Play & Learn Child Enrichment Program offers activities in music and movement, literacy, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math), and arts and crafts. The curriculum changes every week throughout the year, with the same offerings each day at every branch for families who use multiple facilities. The program is available on a voluntary basis for families, and religious beliefs are respected and inclusive when families have specific preferences.

• Schedule: Available up to 2 hours per day (8 hours per week), with hours on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 5:00pm–8:00pm, and Saturday from 8:00am–12:00pm
• Price: The service is free to all active Y members with a family membership.

The Play & Learn Child Enrichment Program is available at all CSRA area branches and is described as the only one of its kind in the region. It has been developed by the Y’s educational experts to offer an engaging curriculum in music and movement, literacy, STEAM, and arts and crafts while parents are using branch facilities. The nonprofit Family YMCA of Greater Augusta, which runs this program, has a 168-year legacy of service in the CSRA and offers programs and services at more than 50 CSRA locations. The Family YMCA’s mission is to serve individuals and families in the CSRA through programs designed to build healthy spirit, mind and body, reflecting the values of the Judeo-Christian tradition while maintaining respect for all people. The Family Y’s PrimeTime Afterschool program also provides afterschool care at 27 elementary schools and 19 summer camp sites in the surrounding counties.
