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 childcare at the Regional YMCA offers a variety of programs that offer a safe, stable and nurturing environment for children 18 months to 12 years old.
