Members of the YMCA Community Child Care Center staff are required to have a college education and/or early childhood experience and must attend 15 hours of in-service training per year, and staff are certified in CPR, First Aid, and Bloodborne Pathogens/HIV training. The YMCA Community Child Care Center is licensed by the Department of Children and Family Services. The Summer Day Camp goal is to provide children with a safe and fun environment that will allow them to explore a variety of different activities, and there will be a variety of field trips throughout the course of the summer, with these trips having a fee. If a child does not attend the field trip, Day Camp is not available that day, and an Auto-Debit registration option guarantees a spot for a child at Day Camp. If a family is planning on receiving assistance through CCR&R, it takes up to 8 weeks to get approval, and the parent or guardian is responsible for making payments until approval is granted.
The YMCA of McDonough County states its mission as: “Strengthen community through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.” For over 150 years, the Y has been listening and responding to communities. The YMCA of McDonough County describes itself as an inclusive organization of men, women and children joined together by a shared commitment to nurturing the potential of kids, promoting healthy living and fostering a sense of social responsibility, and as community centered, bringing people together and connecting people of all ages and backgrounds to bridge the gaps in community needs. The Y also states that it mobilizes local communities to effect lasting, meaningful change and offers a diverse array of programs including child care, summer camps, wellness, youth sports, aquatics and before and after school programs. The YMCA of McDonough County notes that it ensures that programs and membership are affordable for all through an Annual Campaign that provides program support and financial assistance for low income individuals and families. The leadership team for childcare includes Sarah Ewen, Childcare Center Director.
