Extended Day Programming at MYC

Beginning April 5th

As the schools begin their phased in reopening, we are thrilled to offer full week extended day programming.

Starting on April 5th, the Milford Youth Center will be offering afternoon extended day programming from 2:15-5pm for kids ages 8-18 who reside in Milford and/or attend Milford Public Schools. Due to the guidelines from the CDC and local Board of Health, this program will have limited enrollment to allow for cohorts and social distancing. The program will take place in two main forms that must be selected at the time of registration:

· Open gym time for students in grades 6-12

· Structured activity with free time in the game room and other spaces for students in grades 3-8. (Structured activities include but are not limited to: crafts, nutrition, gardening, STEM, movie day and fitness programs like HIIT with Carly)!

All program offerings will be following all CDC and Board of Health Guidelines at all times. Safety is our top priority!

All those who wish to attend the Extended Day program MUST be pre-registered. Children will be required to stay in the same stable group for a week at a time and because of this, we will only be offering 5-day enrollment options. The weekly fee for the extended day program is $50 (financial assistance available) Once registered, a MYC staff will be in contact to confirm enrollment. If a waitlist is created due to limited space, Milford Youth Center will contact families in the order of enrollment date, as space becomes available. HERE is the information to enroll

April enrollment weeks are:

· April 5th-9th (payment due 04/02)

· April 12th-16th (payment due 04/09)

· April 26th-30th (payment due 04/23)

In addition to daily programming, the Center will also offer free snack and dinner, thanks to the collaboration of CACFP, Hockomock Area YMCA and the Milford School Food and Nutrition Services department. We are also able to offer weekend take home meals for all children in the household.
