Attleboro YMCA Offer Supplemental Learning Programs

ATTLEBORO, MA — The Attleboro YMCA has been working with local school districts to provide supplementary learning programs, educational support and child care options for families during remote learning associated with the coronavirus health crisis.

The Attleboro YMCA said it will dedicate its Pleasant Street Branch as a Scholastic Support Center for students in grades kindergarten through sixth grade when school resumes next month.

The YMCA said the program is intended "as an educational and child care solution for children to attend on their non-school, remote-learning days."

The Scholastic Support Center is designed as a place where students can complete coursework from online or at-home classes in a fun, supportive environment. The centers will be open from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. five days a week with flexible schedules to fit family and student needs.

Each center is staffed by YMCA Program Directors, counselors and education specialists who are trained to assist with the remote learning and schoolwork in an environment that is compliant with coronavirus-related safety and social distancing guidelines.

Students will be grouped in small, consistent pods with those of similar age and grade levels. After school work is done, they will be able to do physical activities such as swimming, fitness, art, drama and STEM.
