YWCA Kids Place

YWCA has more than 30 years of experience providing this affordable, dependable, high-quality afterschool program — Kids Place! Our programs are conveniently located in your child’s elementary school to promote consistency and ease of transition from school to after school. We currently serve students in the Gahanna and Westerville school districts and are expanding our reach as well.

All of our programs are Step Up to Quality star-rated. We use a comprehensive curriculum that includes choice-based learning, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math), social-emotional development, and physical fitness. Additionally — in alignment with the mission of YWCA Columbus — our programs promote social action and advocacy by participating in community service projects in the community.
When you enroll your child in YWCA Columbus Kids Place Programs, you are not only receiving a high-quality afterschool program, but you are also making a difference in the lives of homeless women and families in your community.
