YMCA Kid Zone Registration for the 2026-27 School Year Opens for Facility Members on April 11

We know that learning doesn’t end when the school bell rings. The way your children spend time outside the classroom can make a big difference in their personal development and your family-life balance.

That is why the Y is excited to partner with area school districts to offer our Kid Zone youth enrichment program at schools throughout Joliet, Plainfield, Morris, Shorewood, Bolingbrook, Romeoville, and Seneca

Kid Zone provides a safe place for children to keep their mind and body active while learning social skills and positive values. Our caring professionals are committed to helping kids build confidence and character.

Through guided play, children learn to respect themselves and others, work out their differences and discover the value of true friendship, all while in a safe and nurturing environment. Academic support from caring role models enriches your child’s educational experience and enables families to spend more quality time together.

Registration for the 2026-27 school year opens at 8 a.m. on Saturday, April 11 for Facility Members and at 8 a.m. on Saturday, April 18 for Community Members!

REGISTER EARLY AND SAVE

Sign your child(ren) up for Kid Zone by Monday, April 27 and pay a $0 registration fee, a savings of $50!
