The focus of the Fond Du Lac YMCA child care programs is to foster growth and development, not only in children, but also within the family. These educational programs help children develop moral and ethical behavior, self-esteem, and leadership. Physical development is achieved via gym and swim classes in which the children participate. Additionally, nutritious meals are served on a daily basis. In many instances, the YMCA child care allows the parent(s) of the child to remain gainfully employed or pursue an education, knowing that their child is thriving in a safe, supportive environment. Via support from the United Way, care is provided at a tuition assistance for those parents unable to afford the full cost of child care. Through collaboration with the Fond Du Lac school district, the Fond Du Lac YMCA is able to offer a half day 4K kindergarten program, as well as, child care for those children needing to stay for additional time during the day. In 2023 the Y's child care program, in collaboration with the Fond Du Lac School District, began offering Before School Care at 3 sites. 2025 had 8 sites and served over…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
