Waitlist Forms
If our child care centres are full, you can be placed onto the waitlist. YMCA Calgary recognizes that childcare is important for families and that securing quality care arrangements can be challenging. While we will do our best to meet a family’s needs, we cannot guarantee a space will be available when requested or that a space will be available for all children following a family/maternity leave.
