What is the “Drop-in” Program?

The “drop-in” program offered here at the Boys & Girls Club of Western Broome is a child care program for members age 6-12.  Parents are allowed to drop their children off or send their children to the club and have them under the supervision of our qualified drop-in staff.

The Drop-in Hours are:
Mon.-Fri. (when school is in session) – 3:00-7:00 p.m.
Saturdays (starting in October) – 12:00 Noon – 4:00 p.m.
Snow Days – 1:30 – 7:00 p.m.
Full Days off School (i.e. Winter or Spring Break) – 10:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Half-Days off School – 1:30- 7:00 p.m. 

*All days off, half days and snow days follow the Union-Endicott School Calendar.  No extra care is available when Union-Endicott is in session

The drop-in program is supervised by qualified child care workers who ensure the safety and security of the children who are here.  We plan activities for the children but we also listen to their ideas for things to do and places to go.  Children who are “drop-ins’ must be in an area of the building (i.e. gym, game room, lounge, computer room) where there is a staff member supervising.

If we ask a child to leave due to an infraction of our established rules we will have them call a parent for a ride and explain the situation.

Education, fitness, the arts, character and leadership development, as well as life skills are important aspects of our programming and are incorporated in most of our activities.  We strive to achieve a family type setting where the kids can feel at home.  Our goal is to create a fun, yet healthy and safe environment for the children of our community.
