Child Care

As the single largest not-for-profit Child care 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 155 years. Our goal is to provide the widest range of fulfilling programs to serve the changing needs of Saint John and surrounding communities. We strive to help individuals develop intellectually, emotionally, and physically. In no other area is this more evident than in our child care programs.
