Y Oscar

After School Care

YMCA Oscar programmes are much more than a child-minding service. They are recreation based, and the aim is to meet the needs of children in their out of school hours in a fun, safe & learning environment, while incorporating our four values of the YMCA which are: Caring, Respect, Honesty & Responsibility. They are the foundation of building strong kids, strong families & strong communities. Each programme offers a variety of activities that includes arts and crafts, sports, games and incorporates homework activities. We provide a safe envionment for your child to relax in after their day at school while ensuring there are stimulating options for those still with energy.

Programme Registration:

Bookings are essential as we need to know who is attending on a daily basis. Payments can be made via internet banking. Please contact the Y Kids office for registration. All of our programmes are CYF approved to operating OSCAR standards. For you this means your child participates in a nationally approved programme & should your family qualify, enables you to receive a Work and Income subsidy. Before registering on a programme please contact us first either by email: oscar@ymcanelson.org.nz or Phone: 03 5456760 to confirm spaces are avaliable on the programme you are interested in.
