ChildWatch

What? You would like to be active at your YMCA, but have a child watch concern? Not here! Leave your child in a safe, carefully supervised environment while you take advantage of the programs and equipment at the YMCA. Your youngster, ages 6 months through Grade 4, will receive tender loving care right here at the Family YMCA. Visits are limited to two hours per day per child. Parents must remain in the building during use of ChildWatch. Child Watch is a convenient service provided by the Family YMCA at no charge to members with a Family Membership. Other members and non-members may utilize this service by paying a small fee.

Child Watch Safety Features
Safety comes first for our children and Child Watch has implemented several security features to keep children safe. Access to the Child Watch room is through a keypad lock. Each parent is assigned a unique code to gain entry to the Child Watch room. The same parent that drops off the child must pick up the child. When a child is dropped off, the parent must complete a sign-in process. The sign-in process records information such as time of drop off, parents’ last name, child’s first name and the location of the parent in the Family YMCA in case of an emergency. The parent and the child will also receive a matching wristbands. Parents are required to remain in the building while their child is in Child Watch at all times.

The Child Watch room is divided into different areas to cater to your child’s interest. We have an infant section with toys and activities geared toward that age group. Toddlers and older children will enjoy coloring, puzzles and other activities at the craft table. During the months of June, July and August, we offer the Summer Fun Club (SFC) to children ages 6 through Grade 4. This program is held weekday mornings from 9:30am until 12:00pm. The Summer Fun Club is available in a separate room from Child Watch. Summer Fun Club kids will participate in age appropriate activities and crafts.

We look forward to seeing you in Child Watch!
