Families can refer here for the most current YMCA Child Care confirmed holiday closures, YMCA association holidays, professional learning dates and more.
We know planning matters. That is why we keep this page up to date as soon as dates are confirmed. We encourage families to bookmark this page and check back throughout the year, especially when planning around holidays, school breaks, or changes to regular routines.
If a closure or date applies only to certain locations or programs, it will be clearly noted below. Payment is required for statutory holidays as referenced in the Parent Handbook. If you ever have questions about how a date applies to your child, your Child Care Supervisor is always happy to help.
Thank you for being part of the YMCA community. We are committed to keeping families informed, connected, and supported.
