SO MUCH MORE THAN DAYCARE
Infant Care to Preschool Childcare in Salina
At the Salina Family YMCA’s Early Learning Centers, we provide quality early childhood education for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years, all rooted in the Y’s core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. We’re not just another daycare—we’re part of your village.
With a generations-long legacy of nurturing potential, the Y creates a warm, welcoming environment where children feel safe, supported, and inspired every day.
Why Choose the Y for Your Child
As a nonprofit, the Y is deeply committed to strengthening our community by supporting local families. Our licensed childcare programs are led by well-trained, caring educators who do more than babysit—they’re early childhood professionals who nurture your child’s mental, physical, emotional, and academic development. We also track developmental milestones to ensure every child is progressing at their own pace and receiving the care and encouragement they need.
At the Y, children are surrounded by positive adult role models and engage in enriching, age-appropriate activities that build skills for life. From arts and crafts and language development to social-emotional learning and character-building lessons, every day is designed to help children grow with confidence and joy. And for those preparing to enter kindergarten, we offer a comprehensive school readiness curriculum to set them up for success.
