The Y provides a safe, affordable, enriching environment for children to learn and grow. The Y provides a variety of child care programs from out-of-school time offerings to remote school days.

The Y’s early learning, child care and out-of-school time offerings are staffed with people who understand the cognitive, physical and social development of kids, the support parents and families need and the importance of maintaining a safe, clean environment for children to learn and thrive. At the Y, 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. Learn more about the Y’s offerings below.

Child care also offers programs for youth after school and free programs in the community, like Food and Fun at the Park, and Power Scholars Academy.
