Programs > Decentralized Childcare
Child care is one of the earliest programs of the YWCA as the very first day care center in the United States was organized by the YWCA over 130 years ago in 1864 in Philadelphia. Since 1919 the YWCA of Greater Memphis has responded to the needs of women and girls in our community with programs and services to ensure that they are empowered in their daily lives.
At the YWCA, child care is more than a place to stay after school is closed, it is an important part of the YWCA’s mission for children’s growth and development. Child care has become even more greatly needed because of changes in the world in which we live. YWCA Decentralized Childcare is currently located in 19 Memphis City and Shelby County Schools. The program serves more than children annually.
Our partners include: Shelby County Schools, Memphis City Schools, Department of Human Services, Right Choice Training, and State of TN Assessment Unit.
