Newport News Parks and Recreation Youth Programs
Youth Programs is an out-of-school time care operation that prides itself on moving towards its goal of becoming the premier destination for before and after school activities. The program is structured to create a caring and fostering environment that will help children grow as they spend time playing, learning important life lessons, and getting involved in group games. We are all about convenience which is why we have chosen to primarily operate in elementary schools (although we are also in our convenient community centers!) This way there are no cross town excursions. You can simply drop your child off and have peace of mind knowing that from sun up to sun down we will keep your child safe and active while in our care.
