18 months to 5 years

Vital child care and early learning opportunities for infants to age 5.

With decades of experience in child care, we provide a safe, nurturing environment for children to learn to build healthy relationships and develop school readiness skills.

We know you can’t always be with your child — and that’s why we are here for you. YMCA licensed Child Care centres provide high-quality care for your child in a warm and stimulating environment where they can learn, grow, and thrive.  The early years are key in your child’s development. That is why we developed YMCA Playing to Learn. It helps children learn the way they learn best. Let us help build your child’s enthusiasm and capacity for lifelong learning through guided play and discovery.

YMCA Child Care Centres operate Monday to Friday from 7:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. year-round. Programs are full-day, either full time or in some cases part time. Our qualified early childhood educators facilitate play experiences that will help your child develop foundational skills in language and literacy, mathematics, science and technology and the arts. Nutritious meals and snacks are provided.
