After School Care
Life for busy, working parents is often filled with anxiety when it comes to ensuring our children are well looked after, when we’re unable to be there ourselves.
We know it’s often difficult to find suitable care in order to fulfil our legal obligation of providing adequate supervision until they are 14.
Daily activities include afternoon tea as well as time for children to complete homework, play games and sports, be creative with arts and crafts - and have fun! Each and every week has a theme and all equipment, food and resources are provided. We also organise activities between ASC centres and for the whole family such as YMCA Connecting Families Day, Camping, Live to Play month, and a Talent Quest!
All this for the reasonable prices listed below
| Full term, regular booked & paid via automatic payment | $16.00/day |
| Regular booked | $18.00/day |
| Casual | $20.00/day |
* WINZ subsidies available. Click here for more information.
We currently operate in nine locations throughout Tauranga
At the YMCA we work with our children to help find their spirit, so they can make the most of their experience and unleash their potential on the world around them.
Collection Points
Below is a list of collection points and phone numbers in the Tauranga area. We would appreciate it if you can please speak with your child(ren) about where they need to meet each afternoon. Ensuring they know where to meet helps to keep waiting times down so they can enjoy more of their afternoon. All supervisors have mobile phones and can be contacted during programme hours. Please remember that all absences must be phoned through to the main office (not the supervisor) at 578 9272 by 1pm.
