ON A MISSION TO SUPPORT FAMILIES AND CHILDREN
YWCA Kids Place (YKP) has more than 30 years of experience providing affordable, dependable, high-quality, before and after school programs for families in Westerville. Our programs are conveniently located right in your student’s elementary school in order to promote consistency and continuity for your student’s transition from school to Kids Place.
We know that things are uncertain right now. You can trust that YWCA Columbus is committed to our partnership with the Westerville School District and families in the Westerville community. We will continue to align with school district policy, follow health department recommendations, and adopt local, state, and national best practices to ensure a safe, healthy environment to support student success.
All of our programs are Step Up to Quality star-rated, using a comprehensive curriculum that includes Choice-Based learning, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math), social-emotional development, and physical fitness. Additionally, in lock-step with the mission of YWCA, social action and advocacy are promoted by participating in community service projects that benefit non-profit programs in the community.
