For parents who are still going to work while their kids begin the school year at home, the Chicago YMCA is offering an option.  The Y is offering full and half-day programs for CPS children.  Programs cost $32 to $52 per day, so it’s cheaper than a babysitter.

Counselors will be on hand to help work with children with their schooling as well as offer activities.  Block Club Chicago has contact and location info and you can check out more info on the program at YMCAChicago.org.
