Child Watch

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

Child Watch

You may bring your child, age 6 months-6 years, 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 adult and family Y members. 

Reserve a spot by calling 212-912-2180 or stopping by the Member Service Desk up to one hour prior. Parents must remain in the building.

If you do not show up within 15 minutes of your reservation, your spot will be given to the next child. Walk-ins are accepted if there is space. 

Y Kids Zone

Enjoy up to two hours of peace of mind to work out, take a class, or just relax, while your child ages 7-12 years, hangs at Y Kids Zone! Kids can play games, meet new friends, and engage in a variety of music, art, and dance activities, all while supervised and guided by trained staff. This is a free service available for adult and family Y members. 

No reservation is required but space is first come, first served so bring your child early! Please be prepared to fill out a registration form with Y staff on your child's first visit to the Y Kids Zone.
