Healthy Kids Programs was founded in 2007 when the New Windsor Y spun off its fee-for-service childcare program into a separate, independent company called the Healthy Kids Program. The organization operates as one of the fastest-growing providers of early learning, before and after school, and summer camp programs, with over 150 locations in 12 states. Healthy Kids Programs is a certified benefit corporation.

The mission of Healthy Kids Programs is to provide high-quality, affordable childcare programs that support working families and create enriching experiences for children through extended-day programs, summer camps, and early learning programs. The mission also includes promoting social, emotional, and academic growth in a safe and nurturing environment, partnering with schools and communities, and expanding and advocating for affordable childcare solutions. The organization states that childcare is more than supervision and describes a focus on empowering working families, supporting childhood development, fostering lifelong learning, and building a place where children, families, staff, and the wider community experience lasting benefits.

The leadership team includes Founder & CEO Steve Dwek; Chief Administrative Officer Rob Hughes; Chief Marketing & Registration Officer Heather Lynn; Executive Directors RaeAnne Nocera, Sonya Hubbard, and Anne Young; Associate Executive Directors Paris Faison and George Soriano; Human Resources Generalist Lindsey Mitchell; HR Onboarding and Recruiting Manager Catherine Admirand; Finance Manager Amanda Connolly; Buildings, Grounds, & Maintenance Director Kevin Hovfing; Registration Manager Carla Hall; and Senior Subsidy Specialist Jessica Clouser. Healthy Kids Programs also notes a new employee benefit of 100% employer-paid school-age child care for all Healthy Kids employees during scheduled work hours in any school-age programs. The organization states that it partners with schools and communities to give families peace of mind and children the opportunities they deserve.
