Did You Know?

The Akron Area YMCA supervises over 1,500 children in Child Watch while parents benefit from YMCA programs.

I love children. They brighten my day, especially the newborns. Just the look they give you is awesome. I think working with children is a gift and I'm blessed with it. I couldn't choose a better job than Child Watch. It's awesome.
