WELCOME TO THE CHILDCARE PROGRAM
Children are like sponges – they watch and absorb knowledge, skills and values from everything and everyone around them. At the Y, we believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for quality of life and future success.
Our child care programs are staffed with people who understand the cognitive, physical and social development of kids, the need children have to feel connected and supported in trying new things, and the caring and reinforcement parents and families need to help each other.
At the Y, babies develop trust and security, preschoolers experience early literacy and learn about their world, and school-age kids make friends, learn new skills and do homework. Most importantly, children learn how to be their best selves. That makes for confident kids today, and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.
Focus on Family
At the YMCA, we realize that no matter how many hours a child spends in a day care environment, family 
is the most important structure in their lives: Good child care is good family care. Staff members work together with parents and other caregivers to help kids grow up healthy, happy and strong. Like all Y programs, child care is open to everyone, and financial aid is available.
