Child Development Centers
The YMCA is the largest provider of childcare nationwide. The Oshkosh YMCA offers conveniently located childcare at both YMCA facilities for children six weeks to age six. Our centers provide safe and dependable environments for children to enhance their physical, emotional, intellectual and social growth, as well as their developmental skills.
The Child Care Centers are licensed by the State of the Wisconsin's Department of Health and Family Services. Both centers provide developmentally-age appropriate programs, which are committed to nurturing individual differences and encouraging the social, intellectual, physical and mental growth of the child. USDA approved meals, including breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks are provided. Swimming lessons, gymnastics and other youth sports are offered throughout the year for children three to six years old for an additional fee. Our children have daily access to the YMCA facilities including gyms, courts fields, pools and playgrounds for their physical growth and development.
