FAQs

What ages do you allow in Child Watch?

We accept children ages 6 weeks - 12 years old.

Children are divided by age categories to ensure the safety & well-being of all in the area.

Can my child bring snacks?

Yes! We encourage you to bring snacks for your child, as well as a water bottle that is labeled with their name. Please know that we are a Peanut-Free facility.

Can I leave the facility once my child is checked into Child Watch?

No, we ask that all Parents and/or Guardians remain inside the YMCA while their child is in our care. The exception to this is if your child is participating in either the 'Mid-Morning Out' or 'Parents Night Out' programs.
