At AYS, we are committed to creating an accessible, reliable, enriching community where every child and family thrive beyond the school day.
Fulfilling this mission has become more challenging as the costs of running quality programs have increased while families' ability to afford that care has gone down.
Today, please give struggling parents peace of mind knowing their children are safe and engaged at AYS while they work to provide for their families. www.ayskids.org/don#GivingTuesdaye#donateo#forthekidseKids

Without AYS, I would not have the peace of mind that it provides for a working parent. The convenience of being at the school is irreplaceable.

AYS is a safe, reliable, and happy place for my child to be after school. The staff gives my child the attention and care that I don’t think he would get at another after-school program.

AYS’ dedication to the children was particularly highlighted during the pandemic. The staff worked tirelessly to create a fun atmosphere for the children by using creative and safe solutions to encourage critical peer interactions that were difficult to maintain throughout the pandemic.

My child completes her homework at AYS, which makes evenings easier. I feel very comfortable leaving my child with AYS staff. They do a great job!

It is helpful knowing that my child is in a safe and secure environment where she is educationally encouraged and challenged through many programs in the planned curriculum.
