Youth Development After School Program
As the landscape of learning continues to change, YWCA Lower Cape Fear remains committed to providing innovative solutions to safe child care and learning opportunities for working families.
YWCA Lower Cape Fear helps children learn, grow, and thrive. We provide a safe and nurturing environment and take every precaution to ensure the health and safety of our children, staff, and members.
In addition to providing time for learning and snacks YWCA Lower Cape Fear offer strong social and emotional support as children navigate these dynamic times. Kids will continue to engage in educational and imaginative activities, play sports and games outside, and have free time to rest and practice self care.
