Drop-off Childcare

We offer a variety of safe, affordable, and fun babysitting options.

Parents Time Out and Kids Club

Let us help you relax, rejuvenate, and reconnect! Local YMCAs offer a variety of drop-off childcare and enrichment programs for kids ages 1-12. 

You don't have to be a member to register for all programs, although members get the best rate. 

Programs are offered at multiple locations, on different dates, at a variety of times. Each one is different, so choose the one that's most convenient for you.

Parents Morning, Afternoon, and Night Out

Looking for an affordable alternative to babysitting? Let the Y look after your child when you run errands or have a date night. You don't have to be a Y member to sign up, although members get the best rate. Healthy snacks are provided, or bring your own if your child has dietary restrictions.

For children ages 1-3:

  • Please bring diapers, wipes, and a change of clothing. If your child wears cloth diapers, please bring a plastic bag.
  • Staff are permitted to change diapers for children ages 3 and younger only.
  • Pre-make any bottles that will be needed.
