SAVANNAH, GA– Serving and strengthening communities through youth development, healthy living and before and after school programs is the heart of the YMCA of Coastal Georgia, now serving over 6,000 children each day in Chatham, Liberty, Bryan and Effingham counties through their Pryme Tyme and Fun Club programs.

Pryme Tyme is a licensed before and after school program offered at every elementary school in Chatham, Effingham and Liberty counties.

Fun Club is a licensed after school program which picks up students at participating elementary schools and buses them to the nearby YMCA branch where they are offered an afternoon snack, homework help, structured activities, and seasonal sports such as soccer and swimming. All instructors who work with the YMCA of Coastal Georgia are certified in CPR and first aid.

As public schools in the Savannah area prepare to open their doors, working parents once again find themselves searching for safe, quality afterschool programs to complement and supplement their children’s in-school learning. The YMCA of Coastal Georgia is a leading resource for parents looking for educational, meaningful and fun activities outside the classroom.

The YMCA Pre-K program, offered at the Habersham, Effingham and West Chatham branches offers weekly Spanish classes in their curriculum plan and each classroom has a state certified lead teacher, in addition to a certified para-professional.
