BEFORE-AND AFTER-SCHOOL CHILD CARE PROGRAM
The Palisades-Malibu YMCA provides child care after school hours for Webster students. Before-school child care will be provided if at least 10 children need it. A sliding fee structure makes this service available to all. The director provides time for doing homework, as well as games, crafts, dramatics, singing, cooking, sports, movies and special events. Care is provided every school day and certain school holidays from 1:45-5:30 p.m. (5:00p.m. for Kindergarten students) in Room 24, the facility on the lower playground. Call 310-454-5591 for more information.
