Child Care

The best childcare programs provide enriching experiences that help children grow physically and emotionally. They expand children’s knowledge and their social skills. The child care programs at the Eden Area YMCA do that.

We strive to meet each child’s developmental needs and temperament by working in partnership with families. Our programs allow children to explore math and science, arts and crafts, language, music, games and outdoor activities.

Your child’s safety and well-being are our first priorities. Our staff members are trained in child safety and welfare, as well as leadership. Our programs are based on the Y’s core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. We offer fun and developmentally appropriate activities that will enhance your child's self-esteem, enrich his or her social and physical development, and encourage self-expression. 

YOUTH ON CAMPUS

Stay to play at the YMCA!  The Eden Area YMCA Youth on Campus program provides a safe, fun, convenient, and creative afterschool experience for middle school students. The participants and their families benefit from age-appropriate opportunities that enhance their spiritual, physical, social, intellectual and emotional growth. We strive to shape character by demonstrating, teaching, and reinforcing positive values. Your child will benefit from:

• A safe, nurturing, high-quality afterschool experience that emphasizes the  YMCA’s core values of caring, honesty, responsibility and respect
• A supportive environment where students become comfortable with learning
• Opportunities to build trust and respect in a diverse group of students
• Leadership, conflict management and teambuilding skills
• Self-esteem, confidence and a sense of well-being
• Positive alternative to risky, unsupervised afterschool activities
• A sense of community
• The tools for a healthy life: physical activity, good nutrition and fun!
