CHILDCARE

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.

Child Care Registration
A yearly non-refundable $30.00 registration free per child is required prior to enrollment. The registration fee should accompany the “blue card” which includes emergency contact and medical information, as well as immunization records. This initial fee processes your child’s application and helps cover the cost of registration. All children must have a completed Registration “blue card” and a paid $30 registration fee prior to enrollment.

All programs are arranged on a weekly basis, with payments due by the Thursday prior to each program week. A $10.00 late fee will apply for payments received after Thursday.

Parents / Guardians must ask for a Parent Packet upon registering to read up on our policies and procedures.

State Licensing
All of our Preschool and School Age Programs are Arizona State licensed.
