Making sure the Y is safe for kids and families is fundamental to all that we do. We are committed to the well-being and safety of children.  However, the Y facility is not designed or licensed to provide basic childcare needs.  Any public place  may be unsafe for a child whom is left unattended for long periods of time. 

Throughout our programs, in our facility and with trained staff, we implement strict policies to ensure safety.
