CHILDCARE           (Scroll down         for information on our Afterschool Program)

As the single largest not-for-profit Childcare provider in Canada, the Y has a unique and distinct blend of programs available for your child. Our network of over hundreds of centers across Canada allow us to develop standards, provide staff training and pool resources in order to create a fun, nurturing environment for your child to grow into.

The Saint John YM-YWCA has been serving Saint John for more than 150 years. Our goal is to provide the widest range of fulfilling programs to serve the changing needs of Saint John & surrounding communities. We strive to help individuals develop intellectually, emotionally, and physically. In no other area is this more evident than in our childcare programs.

For more information about our Childcare programs please contact us at 646-2106 or j.towers@saintjohny.com

All of our staff have Early Childhood Education Diplomas. All of our centres are licensed by the Province of New Brunswick.

We offer unique programming and services that reinforce and support our goal of building healthy, confident children.  Everything we do helps us meet a growing child's needs:

• Programs and services that develop a child's spirit, mind and body;

• Choices that let children explore and discover new and meaningful experiences;

• A strong community of staff, volunteers and participants who are exceptionally qualified, child-focused and accessible and share our passionate commitment to our kids' futures;

• Universal application of our YMCA core values, which include responsibility, enrichment, accessibility, caring and honesty.

The 'Y' provides licensed childcare for children aged 2 - 5 years in two locations.  Our caregivers have an Early Childhood Education and specific 'Y' child development training.
