Childwatch is offered to<\/span> Y members ONLY<\/strong> as a safe and convenient drop off area for your children to play and have fun while you work out or participate in Y programs.

Parents must remain in the Y facility\u00a0<\/strong>for the duration of their child\u2019s time in the Childwatch.\u00a0 Childwatch does not fall under child daycare licensing regulation and is not licensed due to the limited number of hours a child is allowed to attend. and the requirement that parents remain in the building<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
