Childcare at Children’s Alley for Groups Meeting at the YWCA

The YWCA of Boulder County is pleased to offer the services of high quality, temporary childcare to individuals and community groups, who may need these services when renting our meeting space.

 Children’s Alley serves children from 6 weeks through 12 years old.  The usual procedure for reserving a space is to call 303-449-1951 at 4 p.m. or later for childcare on the following day.   Available spaces are filled on a first come-first served basis.  All families are welcome.  Fees are charged to parents on a sliding scale, based on family income.  Payment is due at the time the childcare is given.

 Call-ahead service is available to some clients who rent meeting space in the YWCA and parents who want Children’s Alley to watch their children during the meeting.  In using this service, parents are asked to follow these procedures:

1.   There will be a limited number of slots allotted for pre-scheduling depending on the time and the group’s needs.

2.   You may call before the usual 4 p.m. scheduling time, on any day prior to the meeting.

3.   Please identify the organization with which you are affiliated and the time of that meeting.

4.   At 4 p.m. the day before the meeting, any unused slots will be put back into the pool for others who call at 4 p.m.

5.   All the usual registration forms, agreements and fee scales will be followed.  Childcare at Children’s Alley is a service provided by the YWCA of Boulder County for individual parents and is not affiliated with the group that is meeting in our building.

6.   If you make a reservation for your child and do not cancel prior to 4 p.m. the day before, payment is due whether or not you use your reservation.

If you have any other questions, please contact the Children’s Alley Child Care office for more information at 303-449-1951.
