Fun Factory After School Enrichment Program

Character development is at the heart of all YMCA programming. We believe and teach four character values in all that we do: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Our staff has developed age appropriate activities that are play-orientated. We promote physical, social, emotional and cognitive development that help reinforce a foundation for lifelong learning. Whether it’s building a fort, playing soccer, doing arts and crafts or finishing their homework, a day at Fun Factory offers each child a well-rounded selection of activities. 

The Arizona Department of Health Services licenses each of our Fun Factory Sites. Childcare staff have background checks done by A.D.P.S., are first aid and CPR certified and receive 12 hours of training yearly.

We offer after-school care at various locations: Wrightstown, Erickson, Dietz, Van Horne, Wheeler, Desert Willow and Cottonwood Elementary Schools  After School Care is available until 6:00 p.m. daily. Each participant must have a current YMCA Program Membership, a completed registration packet and a copy of their immunization record on file.

Before School programming is available if your child attends Wheeler Elementary beginning at 7 a.m.  The fee for Before School is $28/week, and if you attend both before and after school at Wheeler the fee is $66/week.  All before and after school care programs offer a multi child discount of $5 per week, per child.
