BAFY KIDS' CLUB

BEDFORD AREA FAMILY YMCA

FOSTERING
EVERY
CHILD'S
GROWTH

Elementary School begins at 7:45AM and dismisses at 2:35PM. BAFY Kids' Club is here to help you with your child care needs.

The Bedford Area Family YMCA is committed to providing a safe, fun, and creative child care experience for school-aged children that will foster every child's growth in the areas of self-worth, responsibility, self-expression, independence, and leadership. We have been providing quality child care for the families of Bedford County and surrounding counties for 25 years.

The Bedford Area Family YMCA Child Care program for school-aged children believes that hidden in the soul of a child, one can find some of the true treasures of life - generosity, sympathy, and kindness. Our PURPOSE in providing child care is to assist families in raising children into productive citizens through the growth and development of each individual. We achieve this by providing a safe environment that encourages children with nurturing, caring adults, to be who they are, yet challenging enough with quality curriculum, recreation and
stimulation, to risk who they are for who they can become! The BAFY Kids’ Club provides child care year round. We have several programs during the school year and summer throughout Bedford County.

"If I have never mentioned before I wanted you to know Ms Ellis and your staff are EXCELLENT! I really love how they care for the kids. They have a lot of patience. When my nephew went there last year her loved it."
