Do you need someone to look after your child while you work out? We're here for you!

You may bring your child, age 6 months - 7 years old, to the YMCA Child Watch Program for a maximum of 2 hours per day. Kids will enjoy creative play in a fun, safe environment with responsible YMCA staff members. This is a free service available for Y family members.
