One of your most valuable member benefits.
A YMCA Household membership offers more than program discounts and early registration. It also gives you peace of mind with drop-in childcare. This membership type includes up to two hours a day of onsite childcare while you’re using the facility.
Our trained, experienced staff will look after your children while you work out, take a shower, relax with friends, or get some work done at the Y. Reservations are not required.
FAQ for drop-in childcare at the Y
The Youth Development Center (YDC) is available for ages 6 weeks-5 years. The Youth Lounge serves ages 6-12. If the Youth Lounge isn't open, or a location doesn't have one, the YDC will take children up to age 9. For children ages 10-12, please refer to our Youth Guidelines.
Youth Guidelines
Center childcare hours vary by day and location. Check schedules here.
A parent or guardian must remain in the building at all times while their child is in the Youth Development Center. All family members must be on a Household membership. Members are allowed two hours per day, per child.
Guest passes are available to try out the program. Reservations are not required.

Drop-off childcare
The Y also offers drop-off childcare with our Parents Morning Out, Parents Afternoon Out, and Parents Night Out programs, as well as occasional half-day camps. These programs are open to members and non-members alike.
