If your child needs quality care outside school hours, is between five and 12 years old, and enrolled in primary school – they will love YMCA Before and After School Programs.
About us
We're proud to be part of the Cobram Primary School community in Cobram, Victoria – where we offer an YMCA Before and After School Program (also known as Outside School Hours Care). This service is run by YMCA Children's Programs – part of YMCA Victoria.
Our After School Programs are designed to complement your child’s school learning through activities and socialising. Your child and family can experience the following benefits from being enrolled in our Before and After School Programs:
- flexibility and support for families
- enhanced emotional intelligence
- improved cognitive development through activities.
We look forward to working with the children, parents and staff of Cobram Primary School to deliver a high-quality program that your children love as much as we do.

Our After School Programs offer:
- arts and crafts;
- board games and puzzles;
- cooking;

We also provide healthy and delicious afternoon tea after school.
