YMCA of Greater Louisville

FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

NURTURING THE POTENTIAL OF EVERY CHILD

CHILD CARE

With so many demands on today's families and the increased focus on early brain development, families need all the support that can get. That's why child care and early learning programs at the Y focus on holistically nurturing child development by providing a safe and healthy place to learn foundational skills, develop healthy, trusting relationships and build self-esteem through our values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

We offer school-age child care throughout Bullitt County and Jefferson County.

SWIM, SPORTS & PLAY

We know that the Y is the starting point for many kids and teens to learn about becoming and staying active while developing lifelong healthy habits. Kids gain confidence and really see what they can achieve when they learn how to swim. When they play sports at the Y, they build positive relationships that lead to good sportsmanship and teamwork.

CAMP

Overnight, day or specialty camps at the Y share one thing: they're about discovery. Kids get the opportunity to explore nature, find new talents, try new activities, and make lifelong friends and memories. And, of course, it's fun too.
