YMCA Child Care
Providing the support and development your child needs early in life.
At the Y, we believe each child should be given every opportunity to reach their God-given potential, and learning should be FUN! Our curriculum includes a variety of daily activities to introduce and reinforce basic skills, through planned play and spontaneous learning opportunities.
Financial Assistance: Every child deserves the chance to a YMCA experience! The YMCA of Catawba Valley's Spirit Program can provide financial scholarships for Child Care Fees through donated community dollars. Contact your Center Director for more details.
