Child Watch
Child Watch at the Y
Kids and the Y. They just go together. So if you want to work out and you have young kids, you are at the right place. The Y offers free drop-in childcare for children 6 weeks to 13 years of age while mom or dad makes use of the Y. Playful, engaging options are plentiful for your young children while you exercise or connect with others over shared interests. We provide nurturing supervision while parents/guardians are in the facility.
YMCA Child Watch
- Only children listed on your YMCA Family membership plan will be eligible for this service.
- Limit 2 hours per visit.
- Space is limited. Once maximum capacity has been reached, a sign will be posted at the Child Watch and Courtesy Counter.
- Help us with expected wait time by filling in your approximate visit time on the sign-in sheet so that we can notify parents who are waiting for the service.
- Parents are responsible for following check-in and check-out procedures.
- If someone other than the parent who checked in the child will be checking the child out, staff must be notified by the check-in parent. ID may be required.
- If a child cries continuously or appears to be distressed for more than 10 minutes, parents will be notified and should assist in calming the child.
- No food or drink products will be allowed in the Child Watch area.
- Any child who appears to be ill and contagious (fever and/or cough, for example) will not be allowed to stay for the health of staff and other children.
- Please be sure to take your children to the restroom before checking them in; staff may not leave the Child Watch room unattended.
