School-Age Child Care

We are so excited to be offering our school-age programs once again, beginning this month. Whether you’re a returning family, or new to our community, thank you for entrusting the care of your child/ren to our team of educators. We take this responsibility very seriously and will take every measure to keep them safe while they are in our care.

At this time we are still working with school administration teams to determine the exact program start dates for each centre. We will be sending communication later this week confirming program start dates. We thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

Infant and Preschool Child Care

All of our infant and preschool child-care centres are operational at this time. We thank families for working with us throughout this trying time. Caring for your children is an absolutely pleasure!

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.
