For generations, the YMCA has been known for its commitment to family life. YMCA programs and services have grown and adapted to the changing needs of families. Today, more and more parents are looking for quality, yet affordable childcare they can depend on. Whether your child is attending our infant/toddler program, preschool or our school-age child care program, our goal is to provide a safe, fun environment. Like all Y programs, childcare is open to all.
We emphasize the four core values: caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. We teach this to the children through the day to day experiences, activities, and lessons. We give the children the opportunity to use verbal communication to solve problems. Our staff serves as positive role models and provides care that is supportive, nurturing, warm and responsive to each child's needs. Our open-door policy allows parents the freedom of knowing what their children are doing at all times during the day.

Drew’s YMCA Story
We are so thankful to the Buckeye Valley YMCA and truly feel that our son’s time there has made a huge difference! Drew was introduced to the YMCA program Pre-K participating in gymnastics and swimming classes. This was a great way to get him involved in extracurricular activities and start socializing since he is an only child. Both programs ran smoothly. Drew looked forward to attending every week.
