Children are like sponges – they watch and absorb knowledge, skills and values from everything and everyone around them. At the Y, we believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for quality of life and future success. That’s why our Summer Camp, Afterschool and Child Watch programs are staffed with people who understand the cognitive, physical and social development of kids, the need children have to feel connected and supported in trying new things, and the caring and reinforcement parents and families need to help each other.
The Child Watch program is offered as a benefit of full family membership here at Waxahachie YMCA. This program provides drop-in babysitting while parents use the facilities and/or participate in a YMCA program. Parents must be members of the YMCA and remain on-site while their child is in Child Watch.
Available while parents use the facility for up to 90 minutes, with a ratio of one qualified childcare staff person per eight children (infants have 1 staff to 4 babies).
Ages: 6 Weeks to 10 Years
