Nurturing the potential of every child
Children are like sponges—they watch and absorb knowledge, skills and values from everything and everyone around them. At the Y, we believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for quality of life and future success. That’s why our Child Watch, I-Zone, Afterschool and Summer Day Camp programs are staffed with people who understand the cognitive, physical and social development of kids, the need children have to feel connected and supported in trying new things and the caring and reinforcement parents and families need to help each other. At the Y, babies develop trust and security, preschoolers experience early literacy and learn about their world and school-age kids make friends, learn new skills and do their homework. Most importantly, children learn how to be their best selves. That makes for confident kids today, and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.
Whether it’s at I-Zone or Childwatch while you’re working out, our Afterschool Program or No School Fun Days and Camps, our child care programs provide a safe, nurturing environment under the supervision of our qualified, professional staff.

Child Watch is a drop–off service for Household and Single Parent Family Members of the Denny Price Family YMCA. Your children are provided with positive social experiences in a secure and playful environment, while you take advantage of the Y facility. Child Watch is staffed by loving and conscientious staff. Low ratios are implemented at all times. Parents must remain in the YMCA building while their child is in Child Watch.
