About Westgate Elementary School
YMCA Program at Westgate Elementary
Located directly on the Westgate Elementary campus, the YMCA school-age program provides a convenient and enriching transition for students.

This familiar environment allows children to feel secure while exploring new skills in a licensed setting. Led by Director Stephanie Lowe, the program is structured to support working families with consistent hours from early morning until school starts and from dismissal until 6:00 PM. Nutritious snacks are provided daily, and the atmosphere emphasizes community responsibility and kindness. As a Title 1 school partner, the facility remains deeply integrated with the school's mission to provide equitable and high-quality care for all students aged 5 to 13.
