YMCA Child Care Programs
We are excited to announce that Centerville Schools will partner with the YMCA of Greater Dayton (the Y) to offer child care programs, beginning with the 2025-26 school year! These programs are available for K-5 students and will take place in our school buildings.

Registration is now open for 2025-26!
Visit the YMCA School Age Programs website for additional information and to register your child for child care services. Be sure to select Centerville under YMCA School Age Child Care Locations to access information specific to services offered in Centerville Schools.
