ChiLd Care
The Collaborative:
Ypsilanti YMCA Child
Development Center
Our hours of operation are 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday.
Ypsilanti YMCA Child Development Center child care program is located at the former Chapelle Community School, 111 South Wallace Boulevard, Ypsilanti, MI 48197, serving children ages 6 weeks-12 years.
We use the Creative Curriculum, which allows teachers to focus on the children’s learning interests while working on age-appropriate objectives for development and learning. Daily planned lessons include centers and small groups focusing on creative expression, sensory experiences, language, writing and literacy experiences, STEM topics and opportunities for age-appropriate physical activities.
The Collaborative addresses a critical need for excellent quality, affordable childcare in eastern Washtenaw County. The CDC is licensed and operated by the Ann Arbor YMCA. Eastern Michigan University (EMU), Ypsilanti Community Schools (YCS) and Ypsilanti Housing Commission (YHC) have all worked in partnership with the Y to bring this program to fruition.
The CDC primarily serves the children of Eastern Michigan University students, children of residents of the Ypsilanti Housing Commission and children who live within the Ypsilanti Community Schools district, all of whom are given access to priority registration. There are five large, bright classrooms, a spacious playground, access to a gym and space to grow future programs for the whole family.
