YMCA Kids’ Club provides a secure, engaging space for children ages 6 weeks to 11 years while parents enjoy YMCA facilities. Available at most YMCA of Delaware locations, Kids’ Club offers fun activities tailored to every age group. Kids’ Club is a free service for members with Adult Plus Children memberships. Enjoy up to 2 hours of care per day—an incredible value of up to 60 hours of childcare each month, worth more than $900 per child!
With age-appropriate creative themes and hands-on activities, kids will explore new ideas, build skills, and spark their imaginations. From science experiments and art projects to team-building games, every session is packed with opportunities for discovery and growth in a safe and supportive environment.
