Welcome Home To The YPlease take a moment to review our reopening guide so you know what to expect when you come visit us. The Y makes strengthening community our cause. Through our affordable child care programs we create a nurturing environment to engage children and help them develop skills that will serve them throughout their lives.

Our licensed child care program is offered year-round, serving children in grades K-8. All of our highly trained, hand picked staff are CPR and First Aid certified and receive extensive hours of training and professional development. We run background checks on all of our staff, so we know that we have the very best role models.

Registration is open all school year and all sites have minimum and maximum enrollment numbers. Please register online at least 2 business days prior to your child's start date. You can use the embedded program selector below to find and register for programs. The YMCA of Greater Louisville is here for you and will be, as we have been for over 160 years, through these challenging times.
We meet your child's needs by giving them positive attention and encouraging their social development. We follow the National Association for the Education of Young Children to ensure that your child is equipped with the essential skills for life-long learning.

Once a child is enrolled in Kindergarten, School-Age Child Care Programs are available for before and after school, snow days, in-service days, Winter Break, Spring Break and Summer Day Camps.The Child Enrichment Program (CEP) is available for JCPS pre-school participants that are enrolled in a CEP host school's tuition based Pre-K program.

With so many demands on today's families, parents need all the help they can get. That's why we focus on ensuring that your child's time is spent creatively and constructively in the critical hours before and after school and during school breaks. Children in Head Start through Grade 8 will experience academic support, homework assistance and activities designed to enrich and expand their education, build self-esteem and strengthen character.
We know learning and fun doesn't end when the school bell rings. That's why we offer the After School Enrichment Program, a weekly themed curriculum that introduces arts, physical fitness, nutrition, science, math, character development, family fun and more. This is a program where children grow in spirit, mind and body during non-school hours!

I enjoy the staff at cep Bates staff is great love them all . They sit and talk and play with my kids and they have seen my son have an emotional break down and ran out to the car because I forgot to give my son a hug. I’m so happy to have them look after my babies!!!!!

The variety of things that the kids do daily, they go on outings during school breaks. Plus physical activity, arts, music. The snacks are also nutritious. My grandchildren like the Lautkaf CEP program. I've not had any trouble with staff or otherwise.

I would not recommend anyone to send their kids to CEP. They basically have kids babysitting kids. They don't promote learning and just let the kids run wild. I'm not from here but I have never heard of an after school program that does not help students with their homework.
Also the staff can be very rude at some locations.

The staff truly care about the children! The kids can have free play, can have homework help, interact with students of different ages and classes, and are cared for until we can pick our little *angels* up!

Ms. Clotie and her team at Norton Commons do a wonderful job. They are engaging with the children, greet each child by name, and are consistent with expectations and rules. There is always a schedule and a routine, as a result my children feel secure and safe there. Thank you.

They are great with out kids and have a lot of activities. They of course play gave, but they also have things like a question of the week and work on teamwork as they decorate their bulleting board. I feel that it is a safe environment for my kids.
