Child Care Hours

The William G. White, Jr. Family YMCA offers friendly and convenient solutions for parents needing time to accomplish their fitness goals. We provide a supervised, safe, caring and fun environment for children in two separate rooms (please note that there is a 2 hour limit):

 

The Explorer Room (ages 3 months - 3 years)

 

 

The Adventure Room (ages 3 years - 12 years)

Children must be toilet trained to use the Adventure Room.

 

 

The Explorer and Adventure Rooms cannot accept sick children. For your children's safety and for quality care, we ask for each parent to honor the maximum capacities and staff/child ratios that are posted for each room.

 

Come in and join the fun!

 

 

The hours for the Explorer and Adventure Rooms are as follows:

Morning Hours

Monday - Saturday: 8:30 AM - 1:00 PM

Evening Hours

Monday - Thursday: 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM

Friday: 4:00 PM - 6:30 PM

 

How is discipline handled?

YMCA staff model positive behavior such as caring, honesty, respect and responsibility in order to teach these behaviors to children. Staff members communicate clear definitions of acceptable and unacceptable behavior and set reasonable limits. Effective discipline helps a child feel secure and develop self-discipline. Consequences are imposed for inappropriate behavior. Time-out is used when a child's behavior is disruptive or if a child disregards program rules. If taking time-out does not correct the problem, further counseling with leadership staff will take place. If necessary, parents will be called for a conference. The YMCA reserves the right to dismiss any child whose behavior is consistently disruptive or interferes with program delivery or the best interest of other children. The YMCA does not condone corporal punishment or inappropriate language. Please also feel free to view our discipline corrective action form.
