Who are we? We are professionals that care about your child having quality care when you can't be there. A list of child care contacts is available under the contacts link on the child care homepage.

What do we offer? Your YMCA Child Care branch makes it easy on working parents by offering before and after school, holiday, snow day and summer child care. We also offer child care while you work out in our Kidz Zone nurseries at each of our five YMCA locations.

We offer professional staff with backgrounds in health and child development that provide great role models for your children. And, we intertwine our four core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility into every one of our child care programs.

Where are we? The Child Care branch administrative offices are located at 417 S. Jefferson, on the first floor of the downtown YMCA. We also have Child Care directors at each of our five YMCA locations. Our Child Care site leaders run child care programs at 45 school sites around Southwest Missouri (a listing of child care school sites available below.)
