Child Watch

While you exercise or relax at the Y, children can play under the supervision of trained YMCA staff. Children engage in playtime activities that foster learning and social interaction. YMCA staff members are trained to ensure the safety and well-being of the children in their care, so that parents can confidently pursue their fitness goals and take part in the various YMCA programs.

Preparing Your Child for Child Watch

Finish snacks outside. Keep drinks in closed containers labeled with your child’s name. Only water, milk and/or formula is permitted. Formula should be premixed and ready for your baby.
Leave personal toys and electronics at home. Comfort items are allowed but weaned after the first couple of visits to support in your child’s development.
