Prime Time

While You're Here Child Watch

Prime Time is our While-You-Are-Here child watch program. Designed to ensure families can enjoy the YMCA  in a multitude of ways, Prime Time is available to members with a Family or Single Adult Family Membership.

At Prime Time, kids have fun in the care of trusted YMCA staff while guardians enjoy classes, swimming, working out or simply relaxing at the Y.

Duration

To ensure access for as many families as possible, at this time we are limiting Prime Time visits to two hours at a time.

Guardians Must Remain on Site

Prime Time is a while-you’re-here program. For safety, guardians are required to remain inside the YMCA, or attending a YMCA on-site program (e.g. outdoor class) while their child is in our care. Guardians cannot leave the YMCA (e.g. to go jogging off property) or walk the trails while their child is in Prime Time.

Food

Families are asked to feed their children prior to, or after, Prime Time. To keep children with allergies safe, food is not allowed in the program.

Families are asked to provide their own water bottles.

Illness

For the wellbeing of all, we ask that you stay home if you are ill and follow all CDC protocols for COVID-19 if you have symptoms or have tested positive, or have been exposed to a confirmed case.
