Child Development

Childcare and Enrichment

The YMCA would like to welcome all parents and children to our center!  We provide a variety of different programs to best serve our community and provide a safe space for your children to flourish and have fun. Our center consists of year-round care for children 3-12 years old. Our center is also open full day on school breaks and closings. All transportation is provided by the school.

Check out our programs below and, if you’d like, meet with our Childcare Director, Courtney. She’ll show you around, tell you a bit about the Y, and answer any questions you may have. You can also reach out to her by email at [email protected] or by phone at 419-636-6185.

We look forward to welcoming you and your family into the YMCA community!

Many people do not realize that, as a whole, the YMCA is the largest provider of child care in the United States. We believe that the quality of child care cannot be undervalued and thus, every YMCA program is grounded in our character development traits of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.

Activities in our curriculum include health & wellness, arts & humanities, science & math and service learning projects. The Y's child development program is designed with age appropriate activities created to help your child grow and develop physically, mentally, and spiritually.
