Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)
1. Can my child participate if they normally attend the YMCA after school?
Yes! Our instructors will bring your child down to the YMCA after class at 5pm, and you can pick up as normal.
2. Can my child participate if they normally attend Lauri Ann West after school?
While your child can still participate, instructors are unable to transport them to the Lauri Ann West Center so they must be picked up at O’Hara at 5pm after class.
3. What time are classes?
Classes occur right after school from 4-5pm. Students stay at school at dismissal and parents/guardians are responsible to pick up at 5pm.
4. I am not available to sign up when registration opens. Can I sign up in advance?
These classes often fill up very quickly so we operate on a first come first serve basis. We want to keep things fair to everyone so early sign ups aren’t permitted. A family member or friend may sign up your child if you are unavailable.
5. What should I do if the class is full?
Please email ofc@oharapto.org to be placed on the waitlist. The earlier you email, the higher up on the waitlist your child will be.
6. How can I stay up-to-date on class offerings?
