More About Our YWCA Columbus Programs
Safe & Sound
The YWCA Safe & Sound Child Care Center, housed at the Family Center since October 2005, is a state licensed five-star Step Up to Quality-rated program. We provide high-quality care and education to homeless children six weeks to 13 years of age as their parents spend their day searching for employment and permanent housing. Homelessness comes with a lot of transition and exposure to traumatic-related events that cause children to be delayed in their development and learning. We provide trauma-informed care in an environment that focuses on the child’s social and emotional needs.
Our staff have more than 50 years of combined experience in the early childhood field. Most staff have a degree or possess a CDA Credential. To further support their professional growth, staff attend 30 hours of training every two years as well as participate in staff professional development days several times per year.
