COVID-19 Response – Current Status

The YMCA is the largest provider of non-profit licensed child care in Canada. YMCA Child Care & Camp programs support families and foster the healthy growth and development of children. Our programs help children to build self-confidence, learn healthy behaviours, and develop strong values.

Based on the YMCA Playing to Learn emergent curriculum our all-day child care program is licensed by the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Parents can drop their children off any time after 7:45 am and pick up any time before 5:00 pm. The infant program starts at 8:00am.

The full-day programs include morning and afternoon snacks, and a hot lunch.

Programs run five days per week year-round and are closed for statutory holidays. All programs are full-time (five days per week). All registrants are subject to a non-refundable registration fee upon registration.
