Baker Youth Club Offering Before School Programming
Posted
Staff Report-
The Baker Youth Club (BYC) announced a new Before-School Program.
Developed in response to a gap in the community for care for children in the morning before school begins, BYC will now open at 6:30 a.m. Monday through Friday and provide transportation for students to Eisenhower, Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln elementary schools. Transportation to additional schools may be added in the future. Parents wanting to express an interest in adding transportation to additional schools should contact BYC.
Unlike the afternoon programming, the Before School Program is not being funded through grants, therefore, the cost of the program will be $20 per week or $10 per day. There will be a registration fee, which will be waived if the student is enrolled in the BYC Before School Program prior to Aug. 1. The traditional After-School membership is still available for just $100 for the 2019-20 school year.
In addition, BYC will be open for two-hour school delays as well as all-day school cancellations. An additional fee will be charged in the event of an all-day school cancellation.
“We could not be more excited to provide a more affordable options to our parents, with the specialized programs we are offering,” said Tracy Furnivall, executive director of the Baker Youth Club. “BYC has really grown in the past year with addition of the STEM Center, art room and interactive physical fitness equipment and now two new daily programs with the all-day summer camp and now the before school program.”
The community may register for all BYC programs on the website at www.bakeryouthclub.com. Students can register on site at the Baker Youth Club, 1401 E. Smith St., Warsaw.
BYC is a local youth development agency that strives to provide quality supervision for the young people in the community. BYC emphasizes education, health, physical fitness and social skills while teaching young people life skills. For more information, contact Furnivall at the club.
