Its programs have earned a 4-Star rating, the highest quality recognition through the State’s Keystone STARS program and the National Association for the Education of Young Children. This is important for parents because, like a hotel rating system, parents can be sure their kids are thriving in the highest quality learning environment. Four-star rated childcare centers, like the Y’s, have qualified, certified teachers who annually receive continuing education and certifications in CPR/First Aid, Water Safety, Fire Safety & Child Development.

The YMCA understands that high-quality childcare is a win for everyone. For those families who make more than the income threshold for government support, the Y’s Childcare Tuition Scholarship Program may be able to help. Last year, 128 students received a scholarship to ease the strain on local families.
