Child Minding

YMCA Child Minding 

Fun for your young child and peace of mind for you!

YMCA Child Minding makes it possible for families with babies or young children to come to their YMCA Health, Fitness and Aquatics branch together. We care for young children in a safe, welcoming play space while parents or caregivers work out at the Y.

Child Minding has been revamped to promote health and safety.

Important information for parents/caregivers 

• YMCA Child Minding is designed for children 6 months to 5 years of age
• The parent/caregiver must be an active YMCA member and remain in the YMCA facility
• Visits are booked in 90-minute time blocks. Each pass is good for one 90-minute visit.
• Children are only able to attend within the booked time and do not have to attend for the full 90 minutes they are booked in. For example, if you book from 9:00-10:30 am, your child can attend for any amount of time in that booked session and must be picked up by 10:30 am.
• Passes can be purchased at the membership desk. When you purchase your passes, you will be set up in our online booking system.
• Limited spaces are available to allow for a low staff-to-child ratio
• A space must be pre-booked for each child. Online booking will open 71 hours prior and will close 24 hours prior, or when a specific date/time is full.
• Cancellations or changes can be made up to 24 hours in advance with no charge/penalty
• Only water bottles are permitted in Child Minding. Snacks, bottles, or other drinks must remain with the parent/caregiver outside of the program space.
• Parents/caregivers are required to provide their own diapers and wipes if applicable. Please clearly label all water bottles and diaper bags.
• Personal toys or belongings are discouraged
• For safety reasons, fabric seats, swings, etc. will not be utilized. Infant bucket style car seats are permitted to accommodate a sleeping baby or to allow a baby to sit in.
