About the Provider

Description: Our mission at the YMCA of Catawba Valley is to provide Child Watch in a safe and healthy environment and to provide parents peace of mind while enjoying the programs and facilities.

Children ages 6 weeks to 8 years-old have a fun, safe place to play while their parent(s) work out. Child Watch is free with a family membership. Please inquire at the Service Center or Child Watch area for a list of operating hours and Child Watch rules.

Due to demand, there is a 90-minute limit per child in Child Watch. Please do not bring sick children to Child Watch. At certain times, Child Watch may be filled to maximum capacity.
