About

YMCA Child Care and Early Learning offers early learning, child care, and out-of-school time options staffed by people who understand the cognitive, physical, and social development of kids. At this program, infants develop trust and security, preschoolers experience early literacy and learn about their world, and school-age kids make friends, learn new skills, and get help with their schoolwork. Many YMCA locations also offer free drop-in Child Watch while caregivers make use of the Y’s fitness facilities.

• Ages: 0–12 years old

The YMCA was founded in London in 1844. The YMCA is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. The Y’s core values are caring, honesty, respect and responsibility, and the organization is made up of people of all ages and backgrounds working side-by-side to strengthen communities. The YMCA of the USA serves as a national resource office, and every YMCA location is independently operated.

The YMCA is the leading nonprofit committed to strengthening community by empowering young people, improving the health and well-being of people of all ages, and inspiring action in and across communities. The Y collaborates with community leaders to bring healthy living within reach of all people. The National Association of Elementary School Principals has identified the Y as a partner for afterschool programming, and the Y and the Walmart Foundation have partnered together to help provide food to children who need it most.
