Our Philosophy
Through our child care programs, we are responding to the complex needs of today’s families and acting upon our commitment to kids, families, and communities. We believe that daily practice and interaction with children must reflect the YMCA goals for child care:
- To offer a safe, caring, and fun environment for all children.
- To support and strengthen the family unit.

YMCA programs provide opportunities for children to develop and grow as they learn through socialization, exploration, choice and creative play.
