Registration Guidelines for Current Families

Registration for the 2024-2025 YMCA SACC Program ended on Friday, February 2, 2024.

  • Any current family that has an incoming Kindergartner is grandfathered in and may register when the sibling registers.

  • You may only register for the days that your current child is enrolled in for the current school year.

  • If you need to make any changes or add days, please indicate that on the registration form where asked.

  • If you do not receive an email with the registration forms, please email the YMCA School Program and someone will respond back with the registration forms.

  • All registration forms are to be submitted by email to the YMCA School Program.

  • We will not accept any registration forms hand-delivered to the site directors or emailed to the directors of the program. 

Registration Guidelines for New Families

YMCA SACC eliminated the lottery process and is now accepting requests from new families on a first come, first serve basis.

The YMCA has a Before & After Care program at each of the elementary schools in Massapequa. Please visit the 2025-2026 YMCA Before and After School Program Flyer for details.

  • Scan the QR Code on the 2025-2026 YMCA Before and After School Program Flyer - it will take you to the YMCA website for the Massapequa program.

  • Here you will find the inquiry form that is to be filled out.

  • Once the YMCA receives all requests, a confirmation email will go out letting you know that we received your request.

  • This request does not guarantee a spot. Our goal is to serve as many families as possible in the program. 

  • Based on availability at sites, we will award space in the program where space is available.

  • We will notify everyone with an answer.

  • If you have any questions, you may reach out to
