Child Care

With so many demands on today’s families, parents need all the support they can get.

That’s why child care at the YMCA of the East Valley is about more than just supervising children. It’s about nurturing their development by providing a safe place to learn foundational skills, develop healthy and trusting relationships, and build self-reliance.

No matter the age or needs of your child, we can help you care for them in a way that sets them up for success in life.

We offer preschool, early-learning readiness, and before-and-after-school programs for each stage of your child’s development and more. Our trained child-care professionals give every child the safety and structure they need to flourish.

PreSchool University

YMCA’s Preschool University provides a curriculum with an emphasis on social and emotional skills in an enriched environment, focusing on the child’s social, physical, cognitive, emotional, and creative needs. We tailor our program to our age-specific toddler to preschooler classrooms. Our Preschool gets your little one ready for Kinder.

Day Camp

Kids Club

Our Y staff is available to watch your children while you exercise! Take a Group Exercise class, enjoy the Fitness Center or swim a lap in the pool while your child enjoys fun and games at Kids club.
