The Youth Commission provides fee based before and after school childcare programs and services for children ages 5 to12 in the Fargo-Moorhead area. 

 

In cooperation with local school districts, the Youth Commission offers the convenience of programs at several elementary schools, along with the Fargo Youth Center, Youth Center at Rose Creek and the Moorhead Youth Center.

 

Our philosophy is to provide opportunities for each child to utilize styles through structured play, hands-on experience, natural discovery and community activities. The working principle of the Youth Commission is to create an environment of choices that promotes healthy decision-making skills and increases self-esteem. Our goal is to create a climate of safety, warmth and acceptance for every child.

 

Our childcare staff is enthusiastic and full of ideas that will delight your child. A large majority of our site supervisors and youth workers are college students majoring in fields such as education or child development. All staff members are thoroughly screened and highly trained. Among the training requirements are First Aid and CPR certification and age appropriate child management techniques.

 

Our programs are extremely affordable and scholarship assistance is available. Programming is open Monday-Friday from 6:45am-6:00pm.
