Evening Care at the YMCA provides families with a safe, reliable, and comforting childcare option during nighttime hours. Held at Magic Minds Academy inside the MacColl YMCA in Lincoln, RI, this program is designed to help children unwind after a busy day in a calm, supervised, and child-centered environment. While children relax with structured activities and end-of-day routines, parents can attend to work, errands, or personal commitments with peace of mind.
