YMCA Freehold Childcare

Those early toddler years are filled with incredible milestones from first words and first friendships to growing independence and curiosity about the world. If you have a child between 12 and 24 months old, now is the perfect time to secure a spot in the <a href="https://ymcanj.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">YMCA of the Jersey Shore</a>
Freehold Child Care Waddler Program.
As the nation's largest nonprofit provider of child care, the YMCA has been helping children and families succeed for generations. Designed specifically for young toddlers, the Waddler Room provides a warm, nurturing environment where children can safely explore, learn, and grow. The program helps little ones transition from the individualized routines of infancy into a flexible, engaging classroom setting that encourages independence, social interaction, language development, and self-confidence. Experienced and caring YMCA educators support each child's development through appropriate age activities, sensory exploration, story time, circle time, and daily routines that help waddling toddlers thrive.
“My daughter loves all her teachers, and we all love the community that the Y promotes. We are so grateful for all the support… we have received from the staff. I don't know what my family would have done without Kim Murphy and all the wonderful teachers. I am thankful every day that the Y is a part of our lives. – 2026 Freehold Preschool Family
Families appreciate the YMCA's focus on creating a safe, secure, and welcoming environment where children are known, valued, and encouraged every day. Convenient hours, full-time and part-time options, parent communication through Class Dojo, and enrichment opportunities like age-appropriate swim lessons make the program an excellent choice for busy families.
Attend an Upcoming Open House
Parents and caregivers are invited to attend an upcoming Open House at the YMCA of the Jersey Shore Freehold Child Care Center. This is a wonderful opportunity to tour the facility, meet the dedicated teaching staff, learn about the curriculum, and experience firsthand what makes YMCA child care a trusted choice for local families.
