Emergency Childcare Services
Our YMCA is a charitable not for profit organization. We are proud our mission work will continue during this unprecedented time.
Beginning March 23, our YMCA has been approved to provide emergency drop in childcare programming, in accordance with state guidelines. This drop in care will take place at our Foxboro Y’s Early Learning Center and our Franklin Y’s Garelick Early Learning Center now through June 29th, unless extended by the State. We will operate Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 6:00pm at each location. Our emergency childcare is meant for essential personnel who have no other options. We are proud to be here for families who need us.
We are serving children ages 6 weeks to 14. This drop in child care is provided on a first come, first served basis.
For more information on the process to enroll, please contact Kim Jennings at 781-879-6271 or kjennings@hockymca.org.
Once enrolled, please complete these forms: Enrollment Form and Medical Form.
For the protection of our parents/caregivers, children and staff, drop off and pick up will occur at the front door to our centers. Only children and staff will be able to enter the Center.
We are taking the following precautions at the Y to address concerns of the Coronavirus:
- We will be taking the temperature of all children & staff entering the program to help create a healthier center. Any child with a registered temperature of 100.4 or higher will not be allowed to attend that day and not return for 24 hours, symptom free.
- Children and staff will wash their hands immediately upon entering the classroom and throughout the day.
- Our staff continue to sanitize with a new infection-prevention solution and electrostatic sprayer at all facilities on an ongoing basis.
As a community organization with a mission grounded in serving the greater good, we are here to help meet emerging needs in our communities.
We appreciate everyone’s support as we strive to protect the health & safety of our YMCA community, care for those in need, and work together in the days ahead.
