Christian County YMCA Kids


The Christian County YMCA will provide a fun, safe atmosphere while providing child care for your child(ren) ages K – 6th grade. Each age level will have appropriate activities structured for their group. The goal of our CCYMCA Kids program is to help participants grow spiritually, physically and mentally. The program also strives to provide challenging activities in both small and large group settings under the guidance of caring, well-trained staff members, and gives children an experience that lasts a lifetime!

At the CCYMCA, you can expect your child to receive: 

  • Quality care
  • Encouragement to develop to their fullest potential
  • Assistance with homework
  • Fun games and activities daily
  • A safe and positive learning environment
  • Character development

Each day the staff observes and interacts with children maintaining an environment that is stimulating and meets the needs of each child. Ultimately, in keeping with the purpose and mission of the YMCA, we strive to help children develop fully in spirit, mind and body.
