Child Watch member

Over the past year, Jake, Whitney, and their 2 year old son, Maverick have been living in their RV while settling in Redding for school. Seeking a sense of community, they were looking for a welcoming space where Maverick could interact with others and the whole family could feel connected. After touring the Y, they knew they had found the perfect place - and they've been hooked ever since!

"We're so incredibly grateful for the Child Watch at the Y. It’s a safe place for Maverick to play that he looks forward to every day after school. The staff are personal, caring, friendly, kind, supportive, and engaging, which makes dropping Maverick off easy and why we choose the Y over other gyms. We know Maverick enjoys playing in the Y’s Child Watch because he cries when we leave the Y, which is the greatest compliment to your staff!

We believe Child Watch is the most valuable feature for our family because it allows us to take time out for ourselves to be better parents, knowing our son is taken care of and getting to play in a healthy environment."
