SAFE, AFFORDABLE CHILD CARE
YMCA child care focuses on safety, health, social growth, and academic enrichment. The Y provides a safe and fun place for kids to go so that parents can work or study. Children have options to explore and develop their interests and talents. Our team is CPR & First-Aid Certified and is YMCA-certified to work with children through training on health & safety, supervision, child development, child abuse prevention, and curriculum/programming. We can’t wait to share the school year with your family!
A full school year registration is required. Weeks are not sold separately.
OPEN DOORS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
We believe our community is strongest when everyone can participate. That’s why financial assistance is available for both membership and programs through our Open Doors program. Rates are based on a sliding scale according to household income, made possible by generous donations to the Y’s Impact Fund. Apply for Open Doors here.
Important YMCA Before & After-School Care 2025/2026 Update – Chesapeake Public Schools
The YMCA is an active participant in the district’s formal selection process for Chesapeake Public Schools before and after-school care. While we had hoped for a decision by June, it may extend into July.
To help families plan, we’re opening registration now. This allows you to complete necessary licensing forms and secure a spot should the YMCA be selected as the provider.
We appreciate your continued support and look forward to the opportunity to serve you. Read more here.
