Financial Assistance

At the YMCA, we believe no family should be denied access to our child care programs based on the ability to pay. Two forms of financial assistance are available:

  • The Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP)

  • YMCA scholarships

If you're interested in either of these options or are already utilizing CCAP, please register for the program and then email us at assistance@rockriverymca.org to ensure assistance is applied.
