Youth Development
at West Central Community Center
The Youth Development Program at West Central Community Center provides kids a safe and engaging environment where they can make friends and participate in a wide range of activities.
We provide high-quality childcare, excellent staff, and affordable pricing.
Our students and staff dedicate 24+ hours each week during the school year and spend nearly 55 hours a week together during the summer at West Central Community Center. This dedication has fostered a culture that supports three main goals:
SAFETY
Safety is our top priority for students. We provide an environment where kindness thrives and kids can be themselves.
FRIENDSHIP
Friendship is the heart of our program. Fostering genuine connections among our students to support and inspire each other in their learning and growth.
FUN
Our team creates unforgettable memories and new experiences that our students will cherish for a lifetime!
Our program enrolls children ages 5 to 12 years old.
We offer transportation to and from the following schools:
-
Audubon Elementary
-
Holmes Elementary
-
Spokane Public Montessori
For children attending other schools, transportation must be provided to and from West Central Community Center.
We accept DCYF (Washington State Department of Children, Youth & Families) and offer discounts based on family size and income. To learn more, call (509) 326-9540 or email info@westcentralcc.org.
