Midland YMCA Child Care Centre
Building A Strong Foundation for Your Child’s Future
The YMCA is the largest provider of licensed child care in our region, serving over 4,800 children and their families in 2024. The YMCA works in partnership with the families we serve to provide a safe and nurturing environment. We currently operate more than 65 locations in Simcoe County, the District of Muskoka, and the District of Parry Sound. Our Midland YMCA Child Care centre offers care for infants (1-18 months), toddlers (18 months–2.5 years), and preschoolers (2.5-5 years).
Our Curriculum
At the YMCA we understand that children learn through play. Our YMCA Playing to Learn curriculum focuses on small group, play based, inquiry programming provided by qualified educators who engage in play with your child. Throughout the preschool years your child will be learning through developmentally appropriate play experiences that will prepare them for school. YMCA Playing to Learn exemplifies the Principles of the Ontario Framework for Early Learning; Early Learning for Every Child Today
