Full Ranking Detail
childcare
Y-Sacc Longfellow Elementary is a YMCA-operated before and after school program located onsite at Longfellow Elementary in Eastlake, serving school-age children. Operating under YMCA quality standards from 2 hours before school through 6pm, it provides full coverage for working families and accepts PFCC state subsidy and financial assistance to ensure no child is denied access based on ability to pay. The program's on-campus location offers a safe, familiar school-building environment and streamlined transitions. As a school-age-only program with no infant or toddler care options and no available public parent reviews to independently verify experience, it may not serve families with younger children.
