The YMCA of the Triangle has been working diligently, and in collaboration with local school systems, to develop supplemental learning programs that align with educational requirements while also supporting out-of-school time and child care needs of students.
These programs will be critical to supporting our community’s children, families and educators.

About
YMCA Scholastic Support Centers are a place where your K –8 students can go to participate in their online school or Virtual Academy classes.
The program is offered Monday – Friday 7:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. with an extended day option until 6 p.m. Some locations offer full-day hours only from 7:30 a.m. - 6 p.m.
The YMCA of the Triangle is a proud partner of the Wake Families and Schools Together (FAST) Initiative.
Each center is staffed by YMCA Program Directors, education specialists and staff who are trained to assist your child with their remote learning and schoolwork. Our spaces are designed to comply with state and local guidelines for safety and social distancing.
The Program
Small classes of students will be grouped in quiet rooms for study and remote learning time. Each group will contain between 10 - 12 students with one staff member.
These staff members ensure students stay on task, login at the correct times for live instruction/ video conferencing and help with any technical difficulties. Staff are also available to help with questions students have throughout the day. Parents should also check behind their child to ensure all assignments and responsibilities have been met.
When online school/ remote learning is completed, students will have time for homework or structured age-appropriate academic enrichment activities.
Wi-Fi is provided at every location to support video chats, streaming media and other online school demands.
Each student should bring a mask, device, headphones with a microphone and appropriate school supplies. Please make sure your student knows how to log in to their school’s website and learning platforms and how to operate their devices and software.
Students should pack two snacks, a water bottle and lunch. Please dress comfortably.
Registration
Parents can register for the days of care they need. Only need care on Tuesdays and Wednesdays? Register for those days. Need care all five days? Register for those days. Need Extended Day care only Mondays? That's fine too.
The YMCA will collect a $5 per week, per program deposit and the balance will be due on the first of the month for care within that month. More information about registration and payments can be found here.
The YMCA offers financial assistance for our Scholastic Support Programs.
