At YWCA, we're committed to creating a nurturing and welcoming environment that fosters curiosity, creativity, and self-confidence.

Yvette Paris, an Alton parent said “During the school closure and remote schooling period, YWCA enabled my husband and I to keep working full time. Now that school is back in session, the program has been so much more than after school childcare. My son has also participated in the YWCA reading and tutoring programs which have helped him bounce back from the loss of education during the pandemic period. All in all, it is a very well rounded program offering significantly more than other daycare programs.”
