Care Your Family Can Count On
Safe, nurturing care that helps every child learn, grow, and thrive — from their first steps through the school years.
For over 130 years, the Greater Holyoke YMCA has been a trusted partner for families across our community. Whether you’re looking for a play-based early learning environment, dependable after-school care, or a summer full of fun and friendships, our programs are built on the Y’s core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility — and staffed by caring professionals trained in child development, First Aid, and CPR.
Y-Kids Learning Center
A play-based toddler and preschool program right in our main building, where children learn and explore using the full Greater Holyoke YMCA facility.
After School Program
Safe, enriching after-school care for ages 5–13, with homework help, thematic curriculum, arts and crafts, and active play — Monday through Friday.
Summer Programs
A summer full of swimming, sports, arts, crafts, and field trips that keeps kids active, engaged, and making memories all season long.
Financial assistance is available for families in need. To apply, complete the scholarship form along with one month’s household income documentation and birth certificates for each child. No family should miss out on summer because of cost.
