Pick-Up Procedures:

Children must be picked up no later than 6:00 PM.
Please park in the lot on Oakvale Blvd and enter door 3. PLEASE PARK IN A LINED PARKING SPOT! Our lot is very tight!
Everyone picking up a child must show photo ID daily.
If your child is ill, injured, had an accident and no extra clothes are provided, or is being sent home due to a behavioral issue, you must pick them up within 45 minutes of notification.
If you need to update your authorized pick-up list, please email jefferson@tonawanda.ny.us.

New Entry System:

We have a new buzzer-entry security system. When you arrive to pick up your child, please press the call button installed next to the brown double doors inside door 3. Please be sure to stand in front of the camera, not the door! A staff member will ask for your name and who you are picking up. Once verified, they will buzz you in. Once you hear the click, you may enter.Only authorized individuals will be granted access to the building. You will need to show photo ID when signing your child out.

We ask for your patience as our staff learns and adapts to this new system.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Welcome our new Youth Services Coordinator!

Lindsey Palame

Many of you will recognize Lindsey, who has worked for YPR for 7 years! Lindsey started with us at the Kenmore Youth Center in fall 2015 and joined us on our move to Jefferson, where she has worked as an Activity Coordinator and Supervisor for both Summer Camp and Kids Club.

Stepping into the newly structured Youth Services Coordinator role, effective December 15, Lindsey will primarily oversee the Jefferson Youth Center and all of its programming, the Youth Engaged in Service (YES) volunteer program, the Youth Board, and Youth Bowling League. This will allow her to be more hands-on with our families!

Lindsey is also the Varsity Field Hockey Coach for Ken-Ton. She enjoys spending summer weekends at her family cottage in the Thousand Islands.

"I am very excited and grateful for this next chapter as the Youth Services Coordinator for the Town of Tonawanda, and to continue serving the Jefferson Youth Center!"

Beginning December 15, you can contact Lindsey at lpalame@tonawanda.ny.us or 831-1001 x2225.

We wish our former Youth Bureau Director, Nicole Ruberto, the best of luck as she moves into her new Director of Community Relations role. Nicole will be focusing on community events, marketing, and special projects and will provide administrative oversight to the Jefferson Youth Center and Town of Tonawanda Senior Center.

"I am grateful to have met so many amazing people - kids, parents, staff, and community members, over the last 7.5 years in this role. I am excited to continue working for TTYPR to help make Town of Tonawanda a great place to live, work, and play and look forward to seeing many familiar faces at our special events and other programs!"

Nicole and her husband are also getting ready to welcome their first baby this spring!
