School Age Child Care
 
Looking for a safe before and after school program for your children?
 
Our school age child care program provides an environment in which children make friends, become part of a group, meet physical challenges and know they are liked, respected and appreciated.  For the times you can't be there yourself, the YMCA supports your efforts to nurture your child's healthy development.  Staff members are partners with parents and other caregivers, working together to help children grow healthy, happy and strong. 
 
A $40 registration fee is due upon registration.  A copy of school physical, immunization record, original birth certificate and payment must accompany each registration.

New Cycling and Cardio Equipment Policies
 
Our association strives to maintain consistency amongst all of our branches to better serve our members.  New Group Cycling Sign-Up procedures and Cardio Equipment guidelines have been adopted across our 10 facilities that offer group classes.  The new guidelines are effective October 4th.   
 
Follow these links to review the new policies:  Cardio Equipment Etiquette, Cycle Class Etiquette
 
At the YMCA, we recognize changes require an adjustment period for our members and staff.  We look forward to assisting all of our members in maintaining their healthy lifestyle through participation in our programs.
