YMCA Cape Cod has been a designated emergency childcare provider since March, serving children of front-line health care and essential workers. That program, partially subsidized by the state and offered as a free service, ended Sunday, June 28.
“It has been our honor to serve those families needing Emergency Child Care over the last three months,” said YMCA Cape Cod CEO Stacie Peugh. “We have poured our hearts and souls into supporting the care (and feeding) of the Cape’s essential workers’ children. Our staff joined front line health care workers on their own front line taking the risks necessary to stand strong for our community during this pandemic. We hope many of the families we served found a new home at the YMCA Cape Cod. We invite those families to stay with us in this next chapter of re-opening. I am grateful for and proud of the YMCA Cape Cod staff who make this possible as we re-open ‘new normal’ childcare services on Cape Cod starting Monday, June 29.”
