child care
Children are like sponges – they watch and absorb knowledge, skills and values from everything and everyone around them. At the Y, we believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for quality of life and future success. That’s why our child care, afterschool, ChildWatch and Early Learning Center programs are staffed with people who understand the cognitive, physical and social development of kids, the need children have to feel connected and supported in trying new things, and the caring and reinforcement parents and families need to help each other. At the Y, babies develop trust and security, preschoolers experience early literacy and learn about their world, and school-age kids make friends, learn new skills and do homework. Most importantly, children learn how to be their best selves. That makes for confident kids today, and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.
ChildWatch
Our Cause: To support the foundation of our communities through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
Have a wonderful worry-free workout while our trained and loving staff cares for your children. The Mays Family Y provides drop-in child care services for our family memberships with children ages 6 weeks through 6 years. ChildWatch is divided in two separate areas, infants and toddlers, and young children depending on their age.
There is a two-hour time limit per child per day.
Safe and Secure
