CHILD WATCH OPTIONS FOR FAMILY MEMBERSHIPS

While you exercise or relax at the Y, children can play under the supervision of trained YMCA staff. Children engage in playtime activities that foster learning and social interaction. YMCA staff members are trained to ensure the safety and well-being of the children in their care, so that parents can confidently pursue their fitness goals and take part in the various YMCA programs.

CHILD WATCH SERVICES

NEW RESERVATION PLATFORM

On June 1, 2024, we’re launching a new interface for Child Watch reservations. As we transition to the new platform, we will pause reservations for Child Watch service for the week of June 1 to 7, and attendance will be on a walk-in, first-come, first-served basis. Once the new platform launches, the reservation process will be the same; the only difference will be that you will log in using the email address associated with your My Y account, (rather than your member ID). The first time you log in, you will be required to enter a verification code.

Y Community Plus Membership

Child Watch services are included for family memberships within the Community Plus membership plan. Parents may reserve a specific time slot for care through the YMCA app. Learn about the app and download it here. You may also log into the reservation system from your desktop, using your app login. See details below.

CHILD WATCH AS AN ADD-ON SERVICE
