(Batesville, IN) – The Batesville Community School Corporation’s 10-plus-year-old Latchkey afterschool care for students is in for a change starting with the 2024-25 school year.
“We are excited to announce that the Latchkey program will be transitioning under the leadership and supervision of the Southeastern Indiana YMCA,” said Paul Ketcham, BCSC Superintendent.
The Y will continue to operate this program at Batesville Primary School under a new name, “Y Pack,” which SIYMCA says is an experienced partner with schools throughout the U.S.
Y’s across the country currently serve 500,000 children through quality afterschool programming at more than 10,000 sites, with 85% of the programs conducted in schools.
“We take pride in providing a safe, engaging Kids Club afterschool program on our Y campus, and that will continue. We are looking forward to extending that program to the Batesville School facility,” said Tara Britton, Southeastern Indiana YMCA (SIYMCA) Chief Executive Officer.
Y Pack will be available for youth in grades pre-K through 6th afterschool until 6 pm.
SIYMCA says it will disclose more information and pricing details in late January.
