Infant Care

Come visit our brand-new YMCA Inspire Infant & Toddler Care space at the Y in the heart of the city of Boulder. This new program — licensed by the state of Colorado — supports families with little ones ages 6 weeks to 3 years old.

"Early Childhood Care at the Boulder YMCA as been an absolutely amazing resource for our family and a nurturing, supportive and wonderful place for our child. The childcare professionals who take care of our kiddo are diligent, loving, and attentive and are all excellent communicators. The administration and management of the center are absolutely great and we've been super happy working with everyone there. We could not be happier with the Y!" - Tyler B.

YMCA Inspire Infant & Toddler Care at the Boulder Y provides individualized care that helps babies and toddlers meet developmental stages. From feeding to tummy time to taking first steps, our highly trained childcare staff ensure our little ones are growing and learning. 

Each infant and toddler has an individualized care plan that allows our staff to follow sleep, bottle and activity schedules. Our caregivers develop bonds with your little one, inspiring trust and nurturing comfort through:

  • Stories and songs
  • Sensory play and exploration
  • Active time
  • Quiet time
  • And more.

While our new infant and toddler care space is located within the Boulder Y, it is accessible only to childcare staff and families registered in the program. 

The Y accepts CCAP and offers financial assistance to those who qualify.
