YMCA Specialty ProGRam - Home Alone

The Home Alone program was created out of a need that was observed within our licensed child care programs.  Parents were realizing that their children were becoming an age where Afterschool care was not necessarily required; however parents did not feel comfortable leaving their children at home alone without some knowledge about how to be safe and make good choices.

Home Alone is a readiness program that will provide your child(ren) with valuable information in preparation for the next step on the road to independence.

In three sessions this certificate program will build your child's self confidence, a sense of responsibility, and decision making abilities through a fun and interactive environment of role play and discussions.

We encourage open, honest communication between parents and children regarding each others fears and concerns and have created "homework" activities that help facilitate these conversations.

The Home Alone program is three, 2 hour sessions, and costs $25.00 (non member rate) and $20.00 for children who have a YMCA membership.
