The YMCA and the Boys & Girls Club of Hernando County will offer families help with their child care needs again this year.
The YMCA Child Care Office of Hernando County offers child care before and after school at all 10 public elementary schools. Care also is available on professional and student holidays.
Full-time care, which includes care both before and after school, costs $47 a week. Part-time care, which is either before or after but not both, costs $32 a week. Discounts for multiple children and financial assistance are available.
Registration packets are available at the YMCA at 1300 Mariner Blvd. in Spring Hill or at the YMCA Child Care Office at 11101 Hearth Road in Spring Hill (about one block north of Northcliffe Boulevard off Mariner Boulevard). For information, call 686-9622.
The Boys & Girls Club will offer before- and after-school programs to children ages 10 to 17 years old. There is a nonrefundable registration fee of $25 per family that will enable the child to participate in activities through the entire school year. The before-school program is $5 per day or $20 per week, per child. The after-school program is $7.50 per day or $30 per week, per child. The cost to participate in both programs is $10 per day or $40 per week, per child.
The Boys & Girls Club is next to Westside Elementary School at 5404 Applegate Drive, Spring Hill.
To enroll a child in the programs, parents must attend orientation at the club. For information, call 666-0068.
