Come visit our YMCA Inspire Infant & Toddler Care space at the Y in the heart of the city of Boulder. This program — licensed by the state of Colorado — supports families with little ones ages 6 weeks to 3 years old.

YMCA Inspire Infant & Toddler Care at the Boulder Y provides individualized care that helps babies and toddlers meet developmental stages. From feeding to tummy time to taking first steps, our highly trained childcare staff ensure our little ones are growing and learning.
Each infant and toddler has an individualized care plan that allows our staff to follow sleep, bottle and activity schedules. Our caregivers develop bonds with your little one, inspiring trust and nurturing comfort through:
- Stories and songs
- Sensory play and exploration
- Active time
- Quiet time
- And more.
While our infant and toddler care space is located within the Boulder Y, it is accessible only to childcare staff and families registered in the program.
The Y accepts CCAP and offers financial assistance to those who qualify.

Our daughter has been attending infant care at the Boulder Y, and we are beyond impressed. Her teacher, Marisol, is one of the kindest and most trustworthy teachers we know. She goes beyond what we hoped for and has made our daughter feel right at home. Within a week, our daughter was already waving and imitating ‘The Wheels on the Bus’ song. Kathlynn has helped create a sense of security and safety for us as parents, and we know our little one is loved and cared for each day. We truly appreciate all the hard work the Boulder Y early childhood care team does for our family and the community!”
