Mornings come early, work schedules change, and sometimes you need a safe, uplifting place for your child to learn and grow outside of regular school hours. The YWCA of Metropolitan Detroit’s licensed, affordable Before & After School Enrichment Program provides exactly that — a supportive environment where students can start and end their day with structure, guidance, and joy.
Our expanded learning program gives children a secure space to build confidence, complete homework, engage with caring staff, and participate in enrichment activities designed to strengthen academic and social development.
It’s not just supervision — it’s enrichment, support, peace of mind for parents, and affordable licensed childcare families can depend on.
