Why Work in Child Care and Youth Programs at the Y?

  • The Y is the nation’s largest nonprofit child care provider
  • Child care and early learning programs at the Y focus on holistically fostering the physical, social, and emotional development of kids of all ages, from infants to school-aged children.
  • At the Y, kids will learn more about their world, develop healthy relationships with adults and other kids, build self-reliance, get help with their schoolwork and more — all in a safe, nurturing environment.
  • Greater Somerset County YMCA’s fully-licensed child care programs provide warm and supportive environments where children learn, grow, and thrive
  • We also offer a wide array of year-round and seasonal youth programming that includes archery, basketball, creative arts, dance, gymnastics, martial arts, music, performing arts, and more
  • The Y is committed to empowering kids to lead healthy, active lifestyles. Our sports programs keep kids active, teach friendly competition, and introduce healthy practices for life.
  • Enjoy smiles and giggles throughout your day – Y programs strive to develop and nurture the whole child, with particular emphasis on the social-emotional skills necessary for school-age success
  • Our part-time positions offer flexible schedules which are great for working around a second job, college class schedule, or children’s school schedule…you can also mix-and-match positions for personalized variety in your day – teach contemporary dance one day and be a trusted caregiver in our Early Education Centers the next – it’s all possible at the Y!
  • Our full time positions offer comprehensive benefit packages that include medical and dental insurance along with a 12% employer contribution to the retirement savings plan after two years of employment
  • All staff receive training in CPR and First Aid; there are also ongoing training opportunities for staff at all levels
  • Safety is our top priority, always

When you work at the Y, you’ll be part of one of the most respected nonprofit community benefit organizations in the world — a place where you can positively influence the lives of others and a place where you are building more than your resume — you help build a better future for yourself and your community. The opportunities are endless, and this is where it all starts.
