Welcome to the Lynn YMCA licensed Child Care Programs. We are delighted that you are considering choosing one of our programs for your child(ren). We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing experience for your child with plenty of opportunities for growth in spirit, mind and body.

In all settings attitudes are formed, ideas of self worth are developed, relationships with peers and adults are experienced and young bodies grow strong and competent.

Our programs are designed to provide each child with a variety of positive, healthy and engaging activities throughout each day. The staff are trained and experienced in working with children. Many of them are working towards a degree in education or in the human service field. The YMCA provides them with ongoing trainings, meet-ings and support throughout the year. All our staff comply with the Department of Early Education and Care’s requirements for the position they hold, and are trained in first aid and CPR. -Tania Buck Ruffen, Director of Childcare Services
