• CHILD CARE AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER: The YMCAs School-Age Children Program is designed to teach and reinforce the organizations four core values: respect, responsibility, honesty, and caring. Through positive role modeling, we encourage children to develop healthy lifestyles and habits while supporting individual diversity and honoring family values. We provide guidance, encouragement, and leadership to youth in the community and promote enriching experiences that strengthen academic developmentDuring the school year, the YMCA operates the Y-Care program, which serves children before and after school. Morning care is provided at two middle schools, while after-school programming is offered at eight elementary schools, with an additional program hosted on-site at the Knowles YMCA. Y-Care provides children with opportunities to explore art and humanities, science and technology, character development, reading, math, and physical fitness through a variety of hands-on activities. Our staff serves as caring, supportive role models who foster a safe and engaging environment.During the summer months, the YMCA offers a full-day summer camp program for school-age children. Operating daily for eleven to twelve weeks, the program provides a safe, fun, and educational environment where children can continue learning and growing while school is out of session.Y-Care distributes program evaluations each spring, while the summer camp program conducts one evaluation at the end of the season. To encourage participation, incentives are offered to schools with the highest return rates of completed evaluations.This year, surveys were distributed to parents via email and QR code. Parent survey results are based on a rating scale of 1 to 5, with 1 representing the highest level of satisfaction and 5 representing the lowest.2025-2026 Ycare: 1.56 (101 surveys completed)2025 Summer Camp: 1.9 (26 surveys completed The YMCA has proudly provided school-age programming in the Jefferson City community for over 30 years.Child Development Center: The YMCA Child Development Center is a child care facility that cares for and educates children between the ages of six weeks to five years. The center is Missouri licensed and provides a quality child care setting for children while their parents are at work or school. The center is licensed by the state for 132 children, serving children of various ages and abilities. The objectives of the Child Development Center are to identify and assist all children in the four developmental areas: 1) Social: to help children feel comfortable, trust their environment, form bonds with other adults and children. 2) Emotional: to help children experience pride and self-confidence, develop independence and self-control, and have a positive attitude. 3) Cognitive: to help children become confident learners by giving them opportunities to try out their own ideas and experience success, and by helping them acquire learning skills such as the ability to solve problems, ask questions, and use words to describe their ideas, observations, and feelings. 4) Physical: to help children increase their large and small muscle skills and develop strength and control in these areas. Through the efforts of our staff to care for and educate the children in the center, our goal is to set a foundation for the children to be successful in their future learning at school. The school-age childcare program and the full day childcare program allow parents the opportunity to work while the YMCA provides childcare services for their children. If not for subsidized childcare through the YMCA, parents would stay at home and be dependent on the federal assistance program. One of the populations our programs serve most effectively are single parent families with multiple children. We have many families with 2, 3, even 4 children in our care. The vast majority of these are single mothers who are either working full-time or attending college in an effort to improve their financial situations. Outreach funds make it possible for these families to receive affordable care for children ages 6 weeks through 12 years. No other organization in town serves as many children, or as wide an age range of children, as the YMCA. We believe this ability to help families with a wide range of childcare needs makes us unique and vital to the community. Child Development Center: The Child Development Center sends out annual evaluations to the parents of the center to get their feedback on the strengths and areas of improvement in the center. Evaluations of the children are also conducted three times per year to assess the children's advancement in the four areas of development. The full day care facility began operations in 2000. Our parent survey scores for 2025 overall satisfaction (with 1 being the best, 5 being the worst). Child Development Center: 1.2 (40% surveys completed)
