Nurturing YMCA staff at the Dowd YMCA provide safe, fun and affordable childcare. |

|

|
Enjoy a good work out or period of relaxation while your children play, explore and learn with experienced, caring YMCA staff. Drop-in Child Care is more than a babysitting service. During each child’s stay YMCA staff members provide learning experiences in a fun environment. They are trained to teach your child fine and gross motor skills, socialization and how to make healthy choices. |
