    To some, the YMCA is virtually synonymous with swimming—and for good reason. Since the first YMCA swimming pool opened in 1885, we’ve been a pioneer in swimming education. Today, the YMCA has literally taught millions of people to swim and is the largest collective operator of swimming pools in the world.

    Child Care & Preschool at the Y

    Today’s busy families need a safe place for children to stay or play after school, during summer vacation, over spring and Christmas break, and occasionally for Mom and Dad to have a day or an evening to themselves.

    Additionally, the Heart of the Valley YMCA operates three licensed daycare and Alabama First Class Pre-K programs at YMCA Early Childhood Education Centers located in the Huntsville area.
