YMCA leaders recently broke ground on the Northern York County Family YMCA’s new 4,000-square-foot childcare center. The new center will be located directly across the street from the YMCA’s facility on Alfred Street in Biddeford. The YMCA currently offers full-day child care services to 50 families with children at the Richard J. Martin Community Center. The current location limited the number of children the YMCA could serve and hindered program expansion. The new child care center will have capacity for nearly 65 children and includes five classrooms with new furniture and accessories, kitchen, administrative space and an adjacent playground. Children also will be able to take part in YMCA programming during the day such as swimming lessons, child yoga and other developmentally based programs that were not available to families at the current location.
