Child Watch is a convenient service provided by the Family YMCA at no charge to members with a Family Membership. Other members and non-members may utilize this service by paying a small fee.

Child Watch - Infants 3-5 Months Old

In an effort to provide the safest environment for infants ages 3-5 months, they may be accommodated only between the hours of 12:00pm-4:00pm Monday-Friday. Because of limited space, reservations are required at least 24 hours in advance.

To make a reservation, call Adlin Rodriguez at 610-258-6158 ext. 23.

Child Watch Safety Features

Safety comes first for our children and Child Watch has implemented several security features to keep children safe. Access to the Child Watch room is through a keypad lock. Each parent is assigned a unique code to gain entry to the Child Watch room. The same parent that drops off the child must pick up the child. When a child is dropped off, the parent must complete a sign-in process. The sign-in process records information such as time of drop off, parents’ last name, child’s first name and the location of the parent in the Family YMCA in case of an emergency. The parent and the child will also receive a matching wristbands. Parents are required to remain in the building while their child is in Child Watch at all times.
