Building Bright Futures
We know that learning doesn’t end when the school bell rings. The way your children spend time before and after school can make a big difference in their personal development and your family-life balance. At the YMCA, kids engage in a variety of exciting physical and imaginative activities that encourage them to explore who they are and what they can achieve.
The C.W. Avery Family YMCA’s Kid Zone program provides onsite care at elementary schools in Plainfield School District 202. Both before and after care is available Monday through Friday, on school days.
If you have questions regarding registration for the 2023-24 school year, please contact Before and After School Care Director Trisha Dust at [email protected] or (815) 267-8600, ext. 205.

Sign-In/Sign-Out Procedures
When dropping off or picking up your child(ren) at Kid Zone, please look for the YMCA magnet that says ‘Kid Zone Entrance.’ At most school sites, the Kid Zone entrance can be found near the gymnasium doors.
Please note:
- KidZone participants must be signed-in and out by a Parent/Guardian or an individual, ages 16 and older, who is listed on the student’s Authorized Pick Drop Off/Pick Up list.
- Prior to the start of KidZone, please be sure to check your child's registration to ensure that ALL individuals (including parents/guardians) who are able to pick up AND drop off are in your "authorized pick ups." We will be utilizing electronic sign-in/out, and ALL authorized persons must be added. This will help ensure that the first week of sign-in/out runs even more smoothly.
To get started:
*Log into your account at jolietymca.org
*Click "My account"
*Select "Authorized Pick Ups"
- Parents, guardians, and all others listed on the authorized drop off/pick up list will be asked to show a PICTURE ID when picking up their child(ren) each day. To avoid delays, please have your ID ready when picking up your student.
Call your Kid Zone site to notify our staff of an absence or tardiness.
