Enjoy a workout, relax in our sauna or spa, or simply socialize with friends while your child plays and explores in our Child Watch at the Y!
Children ages 8 weeks to 11 years old can safely play, explore and learn in our Child Development Center, also known as Child Watch & Kid's Club/Club Y (for older kids). During each child’s visit, Y staff provide learning experiences in a fun and safe environment, teaching them how to make healthy choices while encouraging socialization and play.
Electronics are not permitted in our Child Watch area, so you can feel happy knowing your child will be busy using his/her imagination rather than incurring more "screen time".
All members of our Child Development staff are background checked and hold current CPR/First Aid certification.
