Kids’ Care

Where Workout Time Meets Playtime

For our valued members, we offer on-site child watch at SwedishAmerican Riverfront YMCA, Puri Family YMCA, and Northeast Family YMCA. Enjoy your workout while your children engage in age-appropriate activities with our warm and caring staff. Our goal is to provide a safe, positive environment for kids from infants to 12 years old. Parents must remain on the YMCA premises. Check out our newly remodeled Kids’ Care at the SwedishAmerican Riverfront YMCA. Photos of the new space are below.
