PA Days, Holiday & March Break Child Care
Join us for a fun-filled day on your next PA Day, Holiday or March Break!
PA Day, Holiday & March Break Camps are only available for children who are currently enrolled in our Before and After School Child Care Program.
The YMCA offers full day care on Professional Development (PA) days and school break programs at select locations in Hamilton, Burlington, and Brantford. Programming is based on our YMCA Playing to Learn and A Place to Connect curriculums, so you know that your child will grow and learn to ignite their full potential while enjoying a day of fun and friendship.
PA Day programming details:
- In-house guest speakers or off-site field trips (transportation provided)
- Minimum of 30 minutes of outdoor play
- Nutritious snacks served twice daily
- Programs are open from 7:00am to 6:00 pm daily
- Cancellations received after the deadline will not be refunded
- If a parent is uncomfortable with their child attending an off-site trip, they may withdraw their child from the break program at least 72 hours before the program date and credit may be applied.
