Parents and Guardians:
Please refrain from stopping at the playground and talking to the students through the fence. Not all the staff outside supervising the students know all the parents. We want to make sure we are keeping our children safe. If you need to talk to them please come into the office and we would be more than happy to bring them for you to speak with. Thank you!

YMCA Childcare Survey - Before & After School Care
Elkhart Christian Church is working in partnership with the Lincoln Area YMCA to explore the possibility of bringing childcare to the Elkhart community. The purpose of this survey is to gather information from the community on how many students would utilize before and after school childcare at a licensed location in Elkhart. The Lincoln Area YMCA before and after school program is currently serving children in grades K-5.
There is an annual registration fee for the childcare program, which will also grant your family a YMCA membership. Weekly fees will vary based on your childcare needs, with rates ranging from roughly $30/week for before school care only, to roughly $80/week for before and after school care for 5 days/week (per child). Program options include: before school care only, after school care only, both before & after school care, with 3 days/week or 5 days/week options.
Please follow the web-link below to complete a short survey at your earliest convenience to aid us in the planning and preparation of possibly bringing this collaborative service to our community! (Formal registration would be required at a later date.)
