Welcome to the YMCA Child Care Center. Our program is a creative, child centered readiness program designed to provide social, mental and emotional development as well as physical fitness for your child. We believe that children learn best in a positive environment that provides opportunities for experimentation. We allow the children to explore diverse art media, cooking, science, music, dramatic play, gym, swimming and creative movement.

The YMCA Child Care Center is not a substitute for a healthy, stimulating home life, but rather a supplement to it. Feel free to discuss your child's progress or any concerns you might have with your child's teacher. Parents and staff working together create a positive environment, which enables us to achieve a higher degree of success with your child.

We have an open-door policy and encourage you to visit or volunteer at anytime.
