Seamless Care Around Your Child's School Day
The Y’s 4K Wrap-Around Care program offers licensed before- and after-school care for children enrolled in a 4K program through their school district — giving families a stress-free, engaging environment for their child during the hours outside the classroom. Available in partnership with multiple Fox Cities school districts, our program makes it easy for working families to keep their child in one familiar, trusted place throughout the day. All programs are state-licensed and staffed by trained, caring youth development professionals who create a warm and nurturing transition between home, school, and the Y. Registration dates vary by district and open after each district places children in their 4K classrooms.



Before You Register — Complete Your Child's Profile
As state-licensed programs, all Y 4K Wrap-Around programs require a completed child profile prior to registration. The profile collects required licensing information including immunization records, physician contact details, and emergency contacts. Plan for 25–35 minutes to complete it, and save your work frequently. You will not be able to register until all profile questions are complete — we recommend finishing it before registration day so you can register the moment spots open at 6:00 AM.
How to Complete Your Child's Profile
Log in to your online YMCA account. Click “View Account” from the drop-down menu in the upper right corner. Navigate to the Membership box on the left side of your screen, then click the edit pencil next to your child’s name. Enter the requested information into each field, clicking Save Changes at the bottom frequently. The profile can be updated at any time, and information is stored for future registrations.
Why Families Choose the Y for 4K Care
The Y is more than a place to wait between school and home. Our 4K Wrap-Around Care program provides a fun, nurturing environment where children continue to grow — through play, enrichment activities, and the same caring staff they see every day. Grounded in the Y’s core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility, our program supports the whole child during every hour they’re in our care.
