-CHILD CARE
We build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities.
The Before and After School Child Care Program is offered by the YMCA and
is available for children who need care before school and/or after school.
Children may attend before school from 6:30 a.m. until school starts and from
the end of the school day until 6:00 p.m.
Mission Statement
The YMCA of Southwestern Indiana, Inc., following the example of Jesus Christ,
responds to community needs by serving all people, especially youth, through
programs that promote healthy spirit, mind and body.
Philosophy And Goals
The YMCA Child Care Program provides safe, inexpensive, quality child care
for youngsters during the hours when there is no adult supervision in the
home. Children will have the opportunity to engage in activities which will
benefit them emotionally, physically, and educationally. The program is conducted
and planned by staff trained to meet the needs of children and to provide
positive adult role models. There will be enough flexibility to accommodate
children from different age groups and, at the same time, fulfill the special
needs of individuals. The program will be designed to supplement and support
the child's experiences at home and school.

Your time is valuable as a working parent. To allow you more quality time
