Child Care Locations
-
Full Day
Quality care programs provide enriching experiences which facilitate a child’s cognitive, social, physical, and emotional growth. We strive to meet the developmental needs and temperament of each individual child by working in partnership with families. Full-day programs provide families with the ability to work without worry while their child is in the loving care of our Y staff.

Before & After School
Elementary school age children attend our Before and After School program to enable parents to work knowing that their child is in a supportive environment. Our program builds upon children’s assets and encourages them to achieve their best.
-
Out of School Days
The Y is here for you and your child on in-service school days, school breaks, and selected holidays. Activities in art, science, and literacy are a part of the full-day schedule. In addition, there are opportunities for field trips to local parks, community events, or special places of interest.
