The Community YMCA has been meeting community needs for the past 13 years. With Learning Centers and School Age Programs, the Community YMCA provides high-quality, affordable child care options. The incorporation of the YMCA core values of caring, respect, responsibility and honesty makes their programs a positive environment for children of every age. Their full-time staff of directors and teachers carefully creates programs that provide children the opportunities to learn new skills, develop lasting relationships and build self-esteem.

The Community YMCA School-Age child care programs are designed to help children in grades Kindergarten through 8^th grade to develop to their fullest potential. Through carefully planned activities, children build confidence as well as enhance social and physical skills. Their school age programs could not run without the staff of positive role models. As a non-facility YMCA, programming is run in local school buildings as they find that schools are great locations because of the flexibility of available space (cafeteria, gym, playground, outside fields) and storage space they afford.  Their programs service children in the following four school districts:  Mahopac, North Salem, Pleasantville and Somers.  Many programs also provide a quiet homework time when children can complete school assignments and offer specialized art programs such as fimo sculpting, wood burning, mosaics and paper mache.
