Safe & Sound Child Care

YWCA Columbus is committed to youth development and early childhood education so that – with each new generation – we’re all braver, wiser, and kinder.

Safe & Sound provides structure and support in a safe environment that empowers parents and guardians to set and achieve their goals while maintaining stability – emotionally, financially, and more.

YWCA Columbus is now accepting infants, toddlers, and preschoolers at its Step Up to Quality gold-rated childcare center, Safe & Sound, which is located inside the YWCA Family Center (900 Harvey Ct., Columbus, OH 43219.)

Caregivers can expect qualified and tenured staff, a state-based, creative curriculum focused on social and emotional learning, nutritious meals, and low classroom ratios. In addition, the program accepts Publicly Funded Child Care (PFCC) and works with several compassionate community partners.

These dedicated individuals nurture children's overall development, embodying YWCA Columbus' mission to support the families and children we serve:
