About YMCA Child Care

You want the very best for your child and so do we. YMCA Child Care is a place for children to explore, learn, grow, and feel safe, cared for and celebrated. We encourage positive relationships between the children, child care staff, and parents to ensure a high-quality experience. In every program, and every classroom, we address the specific needs of children based not only on age, but also individual pace of development. We believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for quality of life and future success.


With so many demands on today’s families, parents need all the support they can get. That’s why child care at the YMCA is about more than looking after kids. It’s about nurturing their development by providing a safe place to learn foundational skills, develop healthy, trusting relationships and build self-reliance. This is all accomplished through our values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. At the YMCA, we believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for quality of life and future success. That’s why our Early Learning, Preschool, and School Age 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.

In YMCA Child Care, babies develop trust and security, preschoolers experience early literacy and learn about their world and school-age kids make friends, learn new skills and develop their character.  Most importantly, children learn how to be their best selves. That makes for confident kids today and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.
