The YMCA of Metro Atlanta announced 13 of its locations across metro Atlanta stand ready to provide high-quality childcare services for first responders, hospital employees, police department staff and other frontline workers.
“Our childcare program is open to the brave individuals who are working to meet the needs of the community, including medical professionals, law enforcement, grocery workers, and others who cannot work from home at this time,” said Lauren Koontz, YMCA of Metro Atlanta president and CEO. “In many ways this is our moment to truly deliver on our promise of service to those who turn to us for community and to those who turn to us for survival.”
Childcare is available Monday through Friday from 5:30 am to 8 pm. at the below locations. Limited space is available. Those interested in enrolling their child can visit spiritonline.ymcaatlanta.org to login or register. Once a location has reached capacity, the registration system will indicate that it is full.
