A Place to Learn, Grow & Thrive
At the Ottawa YMCA, we believe afterschool care should be more than simply a place to go after the school bell rings. Our program gives children a welcoming environment where they can build friendships, develop confidence, stay active, and enjoy meaningful experiences with caring staff.
For families, it means dependable care from an organization committed to supporting children and the community.
