In an effort to offer critical child and early learning services to students and the neighboring community, Montgomery County Community College and the Greater Philadelphia YMCA will open a new center on campus this fall.

Located on the Blue Bell Campus, this center will have capacity to serve more than 80 children on a daily basis, offering the safe, quality, trusted child care of the YMCA.

This care will be made available to students, employees and the local community at affordable rates. What’s more, the center will offer an array of registration options, including 3-day options and more. The center is expected to open for the fall semester.

The Y Early Learning Center at MCCC combines quality child care with the enrichment experiences of a preschool for children ages 2 to 5 years.

The center will serve children on a space-available basis. It features low teacher/child ratios, a nationally recognized curriculum, highly qualified teachers, free meals and snacks, free Youth Memberships to the local YMCA and financial assistance for families who qualify.

“Quality child care is an essential service for everyone in the community. It enables parents to fully participate in the workforce or higher education. It allows employers to enjoy the full engagement of their teams,” says Jen Segelken, Vice President of Youth Development for the Greater Philadelphia YMCA.
