Childcare Devlopment Centres Program Information

With our dedication to offering high-quality, research-based programs that are fun and enriching for your child, there are many reasons why YMCA Child Care is different.

We’re a charity As a charity, all YMCA Child Care programs are non-profit and reflect our values of caring, respect, honesty, responsibility, and inclusiveness. Our staff embodies these values in their relationship with every child.

We embrace the power of play Research has shown that play is the natural way children learn and this serves as the foundation for all YMCA Child Care programs. When children play, they are having fun, exploring their interests, and therefore spend longer on a task. Most importantly, they are trying new things, using their imagination, problem-solving, and developing new skills. Our exclusive "Playing to Learn" program and centres are designed to allow children to participate in independent or small group play while YMCA educators support and engage in their learning.

Saskatoon Early Years Family Resource Centre Program Overview The Saskatoon Early Years Family Resource Centre is officially open for families!

The Centre offers programs and services for families with children 5 years of age and younger. Everything is free of charge to families and all are welcome.

What can you do at the Centre?

Families can join groups focused on music, art, reading, parenting, early development, and more. Parents and caregivers can connect with early childhood professionals such as nurses, counsellors, and early childhood educators. Parents and caregivers can play and connect with their child in the drop-in play space and through guided activities.

The Centre is a welcoming and supportive place in which families can play, connect, and grow together. All programs are by registration only; this can be done via our website.

What about COVID-19?

Due to COVID-19, things will look a little different at the Centre. Our groups will be limited to a small number of families, and families will need to pre-register for the programs they would like to join. We will open up our drop-in space for families on a pre-registered basis and space will be reconfigured to allow for thorough sanitization (we’ll be putting the pillows, puppets, and other fabric items away for now).

We will also be offering programs and resources virtually and through other non-contact formats. You can find out all the details about what we’ll be offering and when on our website at www.saskatoonfamilycentre.ca or email us at frc@ymcasaskatoon.org.

Do you have an idea for a group or resource you’d like to see at the Centre? Let us know!

We look forward to welcoming children, parents, and caregivers to the Centre both in person and virtually!

Thank You Kinsmen Club of Saskatoon & K+S Potash Canada Without generous partnerships such as those from Corporate or Charitable Partners, we would not have been able to reach our goal so much quicker this year. It certainly helps make a bigger impact when we can combine funds from organizations such as these ALONGSIDE with donations from our individual and small business supporters, we all can feel good about supporting the Strong Kids Campaign.

Watch out for our NEW signature event which will find both K+S and their YOUTH+US program as the Main Presenting Sponsor and the Kinsmen Club of Saskatoon being honorary sponsor for their efforts this past year.

Thank you to all our donors!
