DID YOU KNOW – The BLAIR REGIONAL YMCA provides FREE supervision of children ages 6 months – 9 years in the on-site Child Watch Room? This MEMBER BENEFIT is for family and youth members participating in the YMCA classes or programs.

The BLAIR REGIONAL YMCA provides FREE supervision of children ages 6 months – 9 years in the Child Watch Room. This service is only for family and youth members participating in the YMCA classes or programs (Maximum 60 minutes per day). Parents and/or guardians must remain in the building during this time. All children under the age of 9 are REQUIRED to be placed in Child Watch if the child is not under DIRECT supervision of an adult.

We’ll watch your children while you hit the gym, swim, shower, participate in Land & Aquatic classes, etc. Our child watch team entertains your kiddos in the designated Child Watch room, which is full of age appropriate toys and games.

The following guidelines and procedures apply:

• Caregivers must REGISTER ahead of time in order to utilize Childwatch

• Check with Child Watch Staff on Sign-In/Sign-Out procedures.

• The person signing the child in must be the same person signing the child out, unless permission is given for another adult to sign out that child.

• YMCA Staff are not permitted to change diapers, but will locate the parent and/or guardian in the facility when a child needs a change. Please change your child’s diaper or take your child to the restroom before entering Child Watch.

• Sick children are NOT permitted in Child Watch. A sick child is defined as a child who has a fever within the last 24 hours, diarrhea, vomiting, rash or open sores, cough, cold symptoms, lice, etc.

• Child Watch Staff will NOT administer medication to your child.

• There is at least one staff person on site who is trained in first aid, CPR, and rescue breathing.

Spots will be allocated to the first 10 children registered during each available time frame. This assures that our staff can provide the best care possible.
