Brantford Family YMCA Child Minding

The child minding program gives infants, toddlers, preschoolers and school-age children the chance to play together in a supervised play while parents/guardians are in the building.

To ensure the safety and security of all children at the YMCA, children under the age of 10 must be either attending a YMCA program or be under the direct supervision of a parent or adult guardian. Children are not permitted in the Health & Wellness Centre or in the gym during fitness classes.

Child Minding is available for children whose parent member is remaining in the building.
