Welcome to YMCA School Age Services
 
PrYme Time is the YMCA state licensed school age
child care program offered before and after school at Clay
County Elementary Schools. YMCA certified staff provide
children with a fun, safe, comfortable environment that
promotes the YMCA's core values of caring, honesty, respect,
and responsibility. Daily Activities include homework
assistance, outdoor playtime, arts and crafts, games,
healthy snack, fitness, character development, sports and
fun with friends.
Take Stock in Children is a
statewide education initiative serving students in all 67
Florida counties. Take Stock in Children is emerging as one
of the country’s most successful public-private initiatives
to overcoming child poverty, academic failure and youth
crime.
CIRCUS FIT IS HERE!
 
Considering the recent findings released by the New England
Journal of Medicine that 1 in 3 children are considered
overweight or obese, the YMCA of Florida's First Coast has
partnered with the CircusFit program established by Ringling
Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. CircusFit is a fitness
program developed to encourage America's youth to lead
active lifestyles by combining the fun of circus skills with
stretching, strength building and aerobic exercise.
CircusFit will be introduced to more than 1,500
children throughout Clay County. The CircusFit program will
be offered at 24 YMCA after school sites starting in
January.
 CircusFitSM MOTIVATES
KIDS TO MOVE!
The spectacular circus performers at Ringling Bros. and
Barnum & Bailey® are also accomplished athletes who need to
be in top physical condition, making them ideal “real life”
role models who can encourage young people to be active and
fit.
Through the CircusFit Program, the Ringling Bros.
acrobats, clowns, high wire and trapeze artists, and many of
our other performer-athletes help show youth an
awe-inspiring and action-packed approach to health and
fitness – motivating them to get up and move with games and
activities that are more play than work.
