YMCA of Tacoma Pierce County

At the Y, we believe the values and skills learned early in life are vital building blocks for future success. Thats why our Child Care and Child Watch programs are staffed with people who understand the cognitive, physical, and social development of children.

At the Y, babies develop trust and security, preschoolers experience early literacy and learn about their world, and school-age kids make friends, learn new skills, and do homework.

Most importantly, children learn how to be their best selves. That makes for confident kids today, and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.
