The YMCA Child Care Difference
- Hear what parents have to say. YMCA Child Care Quality Survey
- The well being of your child is #1.
- You can depend on us every day, so you can focus on the reason you need childcare – your job.
- Research consistently shows that high quality child care helps kids grow socially, emotionally and cognitively. The YMCA's experience and mission leads to high quality care.
- YMCA child care members get up to 75% off Y facility membership rates, providing a great opportunity for families to recreate together.
- With more than 55 locations, including child development centers and school age locations, you'll likely find YMCA child care on your route to work.
- Next to having great parents, children need caring non-parent role models in their lives.
- YMCA staff love kids and are well trained.
- YMCA programs are open to all – regardless of ability to pay.
