Our YMCA ChildWatch program (for children ages 8 weeks to 12 years) is complimentary to YMCA facility members while attending a YMCA class, program or simply working out. While you are enjoying the YMCA, your child will benefit from caring, active supervision from trained staff. Age appropriate activity areas and an enclosed outdoor playground offer continuous activity for participants.
ChildWatch Staff
Your child’s safety is our first priority. Peninsula Family YMCA ChildWatch Staff are hired based on experience working with children. Staff are fingerprinted and screened according to YMCA policy and are Infant/Child CPR and First Aid certified. In addition, they are trained on all YMCA and ChildWatch Operating Policies.
In ChildWatch participants will:
• Enjoy Sunshine and fresh air
• Grow socially through games, informal play experiences, sharing and taking turns.
• Have fun running, jumping, crawling, skipping, balancing, pulling, sliding, dancing, pedaling, gripping, throwing, catching, grasping, tracing and so much more!
Complimentary "ChildWatch" service is included in ALL Full Facility memberships.
