The City of Vaughan celebrated the official opening today of the new YMCA child care centre at City Hall.
Following a competitive selection process, the City signed a five-year contract with the YMCA of Greater Toronto in 2013 to operate the child care centre. The 5,605-square-foot facility features program and activity rooms, staff offices and an outdoor play area. The space has been designed to reflect the YMCA’s unique play-based learning curriculum and can accommodate 52 children.
