SCHOOL AGE CHILD CARE

In BEFORE & AFTER THE BELL, kids engage in physical, learning, and imaginative activities that encourage them to explore who they are and what they can achieve. In addition to supplementing what they have learned in school, they swim, play games and get assistance with their homework from trained YMCA staff, and have a chance to socialize with each other. Parents can work knowing children are in the safe, nurturing environment only the Y can provide.

YEAR-ROUND FULL DAYCARE

(AGES 6 WEEKS THROUGH 5 YEARS)

YMCA Child Care programs strengthen families and boost youth development by offering infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and families early learning readiness experiences and comprehensive child development programs. Our daycare program addresses the development of young children by supporting early literacy, brain development, and healthy habit development. These early learning experiences at the Y lay the foundation for future ongoing achievement and success. We strive to provide a safe, nurturing center and a developmentally appropriate curriculum in a child-centered environment of warmth, friendliness, and freedom.

Children will learn about the world around them in our state-licensed program. Your child will have opportunities for exploring, experimenting, and questioning that encourages curiosity, creativity, and expression. We provide opportunities to develop self-confidence, social skills, and gross and fine motor skills. With a swimming pool and gymnasium at our disposal, our’s is the only center in the area that offers weekly swimming activities for preschoolers.

Many families don’t realize they are eligible for assistance with their child care fees. We help families through the process. Please feel free to contact us about our People Helping People Scholarships and financial assistance.
