Childcare
Many people do not realize that, as a whole, the YMCA is the largest provider of child care in the United States. We believe that the quality of child care cannot be undervalued and thus every YMCA program is grounded in our character development traits of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and faith.
Activities in our curriculum include health and wellness, arts and humanities, science and technology and service learning projects. Each of the YMCA Child Care programs are designed with age appropriate activities created to help your child grow and develop physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Register Now For Summer Camp
The summer months are just around the corner. Summer is meant to be filled with learning enrichment, new experiences, and making new friendships and memories that can last a lifetime. At the Y, we focus on programs that allow children to explore and get involved in activities that help them grow both mentally and physically.
Parents Night Out
This program is for members and potential members, ages 5-14. If the child/ren signed up is enrolled in our After-School Fun Club program, then we will take a 64-passenger bus and pick up from the site location. If the child/ren are not in any of our six After-School Fun Clubs (located at CC Wright, Millers Creek, Mt. Pleasant, Mt. View, Ronda Clingman, and Wilkesboro Elementary school); then you must drop off at the YMCA no later than 5 pm. Pick up will be at the back of the YMCA, where the buses are parked, no later than 10 pm. We will be taking the kids to either Fun Station 2000 in Statesville or Bo’s Family Entertainment in Lenoir.
