Additional Paperwork: Completing your required forms is now easier than ever! You will receive a confirmation email from the Y within a few minutes of your registration that will include a link to My Forms, which is accessible directly in your YMCA online account. You can complete all the required forms and waivers, including immunization records, emergency contact forms, and health history information. This paperwork must be completed before your child’s first day of care and we estimate the paperwork will take about 30 minutes to complete.

Your child will be guided by our trained, caring, and dedicated staff.

At the Y, we believe that our staff is our greatest resource. Our team all have prior experience working with children and have school-age-specific training to ensure they not only provide your child with a fun experience but a safe and educational one as well.

To ensure your child is in safe hands, all staff members must also pass through a rigorous series of background checks including FBI Fingerprinting, National Child Abuse Registry, National & State Sex Offender Registry, and full reference checks.

All staff receive training on key topics like Child abuse Recognition and Prevention, CPR and First-Aid Training, Health and Safety, COVID-19 Procedures, Character Development and Group Dynamics, Diversity and Inclusion Training, and SO much more!
