Children are cared for in a warm and nurturing environment where they will receive early learning, intervention and educational services. These services are designed to improve the child’s cognitive, social, emotional, early literacy, fine and gross motor skills. Children ages 3 & up receive weekly swim lessons. Children ages 18 months & up will participate in weekly dance classes.

Classrooms have established routines and schedules. Nutritious meals are provided for breakfast, lunch and snacks. 

All staff go through a rigorous hiring process to ensure all meet the qualifications of the YMCA and the Office of Children and Family Services. Staff receive ongoing training to promote professional development that addresses the education, growth, and development of children.

All families enrolled at the Mickey Sands Child Care Center will receive a FREE Sands Family YMCA Membership.
