Prime Time is our Out-of-School-Time program that offers care before and after school for students in grades K-5. Prime Time engages kids in physically active, learning, and imaginative activities that encourage exploration of who they are and what they can achieve. All of our programs are inclusive and offer a combination of free-choice and structured age-appropriate activities. Programs are licensed by the State of Michigan and are run by qualified youth development staff. Our program includes the CATCH curriculum, which is aimed at engaging children in intentional physical activity and nutritional education. We also offer healthy afternoon snacks, academic support, STEM, arts and crafts, and more! We promote the Y’s four core values: integrity, health, diversity, and collaboration, and incorporate the CHAMPS program at all of our sites.
