Beginning Feb. 15, the Santa Maria Valley YMCA, in partnership with the Santa Maria-Bonita School District, will be offering after-school care for kindergarteners at Robert Bruce Elementary School.

The YMCA Kinderbridge program runs from after morning kindergarten class until 6 p.m., and includes homework time, a healthy snack, structured outdoor activities, games, and arts and crafts.

Thanks to a donation from the Henry Mayo Foundation, the YMCA will be offering this service for $60 per child, a reduction of more than $40. Transportation is not
provided to and from the school.

Register for Kinderbridge at the YMCA, 3400 Skyway Drive, or call 937-8521 for more information.
