Learn, Grow, and Belong
At the Y, we support children by providing a safe and healthy place to learn foundational skills, develop trusting relationships, and build self-reliance through our core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. We believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for quality of life and future success. Our programs are staffed with people who understand the cognitive, physical, and social development of children — and the caring, reinforcement, and connection that families need to feel supported. From 6 weeks old through summer camp and beyond, the Y is here for every stage of your child’s journey.



Child Care Programs
We offer flexible child care options to meet the unique needs of families across the Fox Cities — from full-time infant care to part-time play programs and convenient drop-in care.
Why Choose the Y for Child Care?
More than a place to be watched — the Y is a place where children thrive. Here’s what sets our child care programs apart.
School Age & Camps
From before-and-after school care to summer adventures at day camp and overnight camp, we support children’s growth and well-being every season of the year.
Before & After School Care
Our school age programs provide a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for children during out-of-school hours. Designed to promote academic success, healthy living, and social development, each program includes homework help, enrichment activities, and physical play — all while giving working families the peace of mind that comes with reliable, quality care. Programs are available at multiple Y locations throughout the Fox Cities.

Summer Is Better at the Y
From fun-filled day camps packed with swimming, sports, arts, and field trips, to the magic of overnight camp at Camp Nan A Bo Sho, the Y offers summer experiences that help kids grow, connect, and thrive. Day camps serve children throughout the Fox Cities, while Camp Nan A Bo Sho offers overnight resident camps, wilderness trips, leadership programs, and family programs for campers of all ages.
