CHILDCARE WITH PURPOSE
At the Salina Family YMCA, we offer trusted child care programs that support every stage of your child’s development—from early learning for infants and preschoolers, to afterschool care for elementary students, to summer day camps that keep kids active and engaged. We’re committed to helping your child grow, learn, and thrive while supporting families with affordable options and available financial assistance.
Whether you're looking for a safe, nurturing space for your baby, enriching care after school, or fun-filled summer adventures, the Y is here to help your child learn, grow and thrive in a values-driven environment.
