The YMCA Child Care and Learning Development Center's goal is to foster growth and development in young children, and provide a responsive environment where children learn through hands-on experiences. The Centers operate a full day, year round program for children ages 3 through 5. Our Centers enroll children regardless of gender, creed, religion, race or national origin. Children must be potty trained. A typical day offers playground fun, arts & crafts, classroom instruction, storytelling and naptime.

school age
The goal of the school age program is to provide an environment in which children can make friends, be part of a group, meet physical challenges and know they are liked, respected and appreciated. For the times you can't be there yourself, the YMCA supports your efforts to nurture your school age child's healthy development. Well-trained staffs provide safe, affordable, high-quality care so you can have peace of mind while you work to help your family succeed. No matter how many hours children spend in child care, family is the most important structure in their lives. At the YMCA, good child care is good family care. Staff members are partners with parents and other caregivers, working together to help children grow healthy, happy and strong. Available at Hampton, Luter (Smithfield), Middlesex, Newport News, Northern Neck, Richmond County, Victory (Yorktown) and Westmoreland
