For generations, the YMCA has been known for its commitment to
family life. YMCA programs and services have grown and adapted
to the changing needs of families. Today, more and more parents
are looking for quality, yet affordable childcare they can depend
on. Whether your child is attending the Y preschool, after school
or camp program, our goal is to provide a safe, fun environment.
Like all Y programs, childcare is open to all, with financial
aid available.

Currently in the state of Arizona, there are 9,000 kids on waiting lists to receive financial assistance from the DES. The Prescott YMCA provides scholarships to 60% of the kids enrolled in our childcare programs. If your kids are on a DES waiting list, we encourage you to apply for a childcare scholarship. The Prescott YMCA is committed to providing you with an affordable and convenient childcare option.
Tired of hearing “I’m bored” all summer? Send your kids to Y Camp. They’ll enjoy swimming, climbing, teambuilding, camp songs, sports, field trips, arts & crafts and other activities. Plus they get to hang out with the coolest staff in Prescott. Each week we will have a new theme to keep things interesting. They will come home each evening with stories to tell about new friends and positive experiences. We have camps for kids ages 2 thru 8th grade.
YMCA Programs for Child Care: A good place to grow
YMCAs are dedicated to providing high-quality, affordable child care. As the nation's largest provider of child care programs, YMCAs provide family-centered, values-based programs to nurture children's healthy development. Well-trained staff provide safe, affordable, high-quality care so you can have peace of mind while you work. Like all Y programs, child care is open to all, with financial aid available. Staff members are partners with parents and other caregivers, working together to help kids grow up healthy, happy and strong.
The YMCA Preschool is
a popular program serving children ages 2 (and diaper trained) to 5
years old. This program is two fold in purpose; first to provide
childcare for children while adults in the home are working, and second
to provide an environment for learning. It is the goal of the
director and staff that by the time your child leaves the Preschool,
he/she will have all the necessary skills to begin kindergarten in the
fall.
This very popular Prescott YMCA program is back for another year.
Prescott elementary age children are transported after school by PUSD
buses to the YMCA. With a good child/leader ration, students are
divided in school groups with a designated home base site.
The Prescott YMCA offers day camp opportunities for school aged children during school breaks. We will have a Spring Break Camp for kids ages : March 17-21
The Kid Zone is a place where children may have fun while their parents work out. We welcome ages 6 weeks -
9 years old. Parents must remain on the premises. There is a two hour maximum stay for each child.
