Do you need someone to look after your child while you work out? We're here for you!

You may bring your child, age 2-11, to the YMCA Child Watch Program for a maximum of 2 hours per day. Kids will enjoy creative play in a fun, safe environment with responsible YMCA staff members. This is a free service available for family Y members. 


Child Watch Hours:
Monday-Thursday: 5-8:30 PM
Saturday: 10 AM-2 PM

First time registrants must see the front desk. After that, just give us a call at 212-912-2490 an hour ahead to reserve a space for your child!
