YWCA offers this high-quality year-round Child Enrichment Program for children in the Alton, Roxana, and Wood River-Hartford School Districts. The program accepts CCAP payments through CHASI and DCFS collaborations. A child is allotted one week of vacation throughout the calendar year without payment required for that week, with 5 days for full time children and 3 days for part time children, when the vacation request is submitted two weeks in advance. Possible reduction in fees due to absence because of extended illness or extenuating family circumstances may be considered at the discretion of the Executive Director.
YWCA Southwestern Illinois was established in 1918. Its mission is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. The Child Enrichment Program leadership team includes Child Enrichment Director Gabby Joyce and Assistant Director of Child Enrichment Brooke Krankel.
One parent from the North location, Sarah Eagan, describes the Child Enrichment Program as a huge blessing to her family, noting the available times, school holiday coverage, different types of activities, and the care and concern staff show for her daughter, and states that her family has loved their first year with the program, plans to participate for many more years, and recommends it to many family and friends.
