Child Care

TODDLER / PRESCHOOL / PRE-KINDERGARTEN

The Middleboro YMCA Toddler/ Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten Child Care Programs operate year round, Monday through Friday from 7 am to 6 pm. There is a two day minimum per week; openings for select days are available on a limited basis. Weekly swim lessons are included for Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten classrooms.

The Child Care Staff believe that each child is special, with his or her own personality, talents, and skills. Our curriculum reflects the YMCA's core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility, as well as our commitment to building strong kids, strong families and strong communities. Child Care Staff are CPR/ First Aid certified and must pass an extensive background check. All of the Child Care Programs are licensed by the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC).
