At the Middletown Area Family YMCA, we believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That’s why childcare at the Y focuses on holistically nurturing child development by providing a safe and healthy place to learn fundamental skills, develop healthy, trusting relationships and build self-esteem through the Y values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.
The YMCA before and after school program is open to all and financial assistance is available. All sites are licensed by the State of Delaware and accept Purchase of Care.
