Playcare is a child minding service we offer while you enjoy our Y facilities, programs or services. Our caring, creative, fun and professional staff are here to make sure that your child's time at the Y is as much fun as yours.
Children aged 11 months to seven years can stay with us in playcare for up to two hours per day. They spend their time engaged in supervised play, arts and crafts, reading stories and much more. Infants between six weeks to 10 months can stay with us in infant care for up to 1.5 hours per day.
Please note that there are a limited number of children accepted in each age group according to staff/child ratio and room size. Pre-booking is required at most Ys and is on a first-come, first-served basis. Call in advance to make sure you're not disappointed!
