If you’re looking for affordable, trusting, and educational child care, consider the YMCA. The Y’s child care programs provide many different services for children and teens.
Check out what they have to offer through each program.
Childcare
The YMCA’s child care program allows you to drop your child off while you go to work. You can use them for half a day or full day. They take newborns all the way up to preschool age.
After School
If you have school aged children but work after they get out of school, you can use the YMCA’s after school program. They accept kindergarteners through middle schoolers. During their time at the Y, they will be able to play games, do activities and even complete their homework.
Child Watch
To be a good single mom, you need good breaks. Take advantage of the Y’s Child Watch program. They will watch your children, engage them in fun activities and give them an opportunity to socialize with other children.
What will you do with the time?
There are plenty of activities for adults so don’t be afraid to take advantage of them. You can exercise in the gym, go swimming in the pool, or join some of the exercise classes. You’ll be able to get the physical activity that will keep you healthy and give you a chance to socialize with others.
Leader Clubs
If you have children who are between the ages of 12 to 18, they might be interested in joining a Leader Club. Each child is set up with an adult mentor and will engage them into the community in a positive way. It’s a great way for your child to get the male role model you’ve been wishing he or she had.
Youth and Government
Do you have an aspiring politician? You may want to look into the nationally recognized Youth and Government program the Y has available. This organized model-government provides teens the opportunity to learn about the government and experience it firsthand. They even compete with other governments throughout the country.
Physical Fun
If you’re looking for extracurricular activities for your child, such as playing sports, contact the YMCA. They have many sports and activities available for your children to participate in. These activities will teach them about teamwork and sportsmanship – admirable qualities to have in life.
Camp
Camp is always a memorable experience for children. The YMCA has many camp programs throughout the summer months. You can choose programs in which you drop them off each day or ones that last for a week or more. It all depends on you and your children’s interests.
Financial Assistance with YMCA Child Care Programs
Don’t think you can afford the services at the YMCA? Don’t rule them out just yet.
YMCA has a financial assistance program. You can complete an application for financial aid and they will provide free or reduced membership fees based on your individual needs.
The YMCA is dedicated to providing the community a safe, healthy and educational place to grow regardless of financial situation. Contact your local YMCA to learn more today.
