Our childcare facilities are available for children ages 6 weeks–8 years, with a separate room for non-potty trained kids. We offer age-appropriate toys and activities in a “Character Counts!” curriculum to keep your kids occupied, engaged, and having fun! All of our childcare staff has CPR and first aid training.

Our childcare hours are scheduled to coincide with fitness and aquatic classes. Parents must remain in the facility or be participating in Altoona Campus-sponsored programs while kids are at the childcare center.
