Childcare: Day Care & Education

Childcare Options That Meet Your Needs

As your family grows and changes, so do your childcare needs. The Y offers a range of affordable childcare options from infancy through elementary school. Whether you’re looking for full-time care for your baby on the way or flexible, part-time fun for your child, childcare and camps at the YMCA meet your changing needs. Financial assistance is available.

Infant Care & Preschool

Infants as young as six weeks old receive loving care and developmentally appropriate play and activity throughout their daycare education. As babies grow into toddlers, they learn colors, shapes, letters and numbers along with their peers in a socially active environment.

Extend-A-Care YMCA Afterschool

Children in our afterschool programs enjoy enriching programs that aim to give children a well-rounded experience. Activities include physical activities, creativity, critical thinking, and voice and choice, to create an environment for children to have positive social experiences.

Kids Play: Drop-In Childcare While You Work Out

Kids Play is complimentary, on-site childcare exclusively for YMCA members and their children. A haven for the youngest members of our community, Kids Play is where kids go for fun, education and care while you work out.

Kids Night Out

Bring your children to the Y during Kid’s Night Out sessions and enjoy a few hours of free time. Kids will have a blast participating in age-appropriate themed activities under the watchful eye of our trained staff.

I’m not sure who had more fun on Kid’s Night Out – us or the kids! We love having the opportunity to connect to one another knowing that our children are also having a great time.
