Child Care at the Santa Barbara Family YMCA
The Y is the leading nonprofit committed to strengthening communities through youth development. Working side-by-side with schools and parents the Y offers a safe and nurturing environment for your children. Children will gain the necessary tools to deepen positive values, commitment to service and the motivation to learn by taking part in fun, age-appropriate activities focused around monthly themes.
Our childcare programs offer quality care for children in Kindergarten to 6th grade. Our trained child-care professionals provide your child with a safe and structured setting through supervised recreational activities. Your child’s safety is our top priority, so all of our staff are CPR, AED and First-Aid Certified. All staff also undergo a thorough background check prior to employment.
As the nation’s largest child care provider, the YMCA is committed to meet the need of all families by offering accessible and affordable childcare to all. Financial assistance is available to qualifying families.
AfterSchool Care
Our state-licensed afterschool childcare program is designed with the working parent in mind. We will help your child realize their potential through a curriculum which encourages development, growth and self-confidence. With our mature, caring and professional staff your child will love participating in a variety of activities each day such as science projects, sports and crafts.
We have part-time options for both before and after school care to meet your needs. Full-time enrollment comes with a facility membership for your whole family!
