Looking for child care?

Add your child to the Provincial wait list.

At the Y, we’ve never met a kid whose potential we couldn’t see. It’s our belief in developing a child’s potential that has led us to our position today as Manitoba’s largest provider of child care services.

Our Child Care programs focus on helping children develop seven core values: respect, responsibility, inclusiveness, caring, health, honesty and equality.

We believe that it’s crucial for children to be active. Our Child Care centres incorporate physical activities into our programming, including: outdoor activities, gym time and a swimming program for the preschool children.
