Description:
Since 1978 the YWCA has provided flexible, nurturing, enriching child care services for working women and their families. The curriculum demonstrates a commitment to eliminating racism and offers children opportunities to celebrate differences and learn to value diversity. All YWCA childcare programs embody the ideals of the YWCA - peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.
We are a Pre-K Counts facility, and run an early head start program in collaboration with the IU13.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
