The YMCA offers this FREE child care service to Henderson YMCA Members only.  The parent/grandparent must and all children be YMCA members, not just the child or parent/grandparent.  Non-Member parents are not allowed to use child care. Parents must be in the Y at all times.  Hours may change depending on usage and in the late spring, summer and fall.  Usage is limited to two hours.  Diaper changing is not allowed by the babysitting staff or in the child care room due to sanitation and health reasons. Parents will be paged to change diapers or to take their child to the restroom if needed. Due to liability reasons no YMCA staff is allowed to take children to the restroom.
