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.
Come visit our newly expanded and remodeled ChildWatch Program Children will enjoy time in our ChildWatch Room where they can dress-up, play on our outdoor play structure, draw on the chalk wall, do an art project, play computer games, play sports games on our game consoles, and so much more!
