Countryside YMCA in Clarksville, Ohio offers a safe, nurturing environment for children to learn and grow. Our Step Up to Quality star-rated preschool and school age program is designed to meet the need of families with children ages three years old through eighth grade.
Our vision is for all Countryside YMCA childcare programs to be the leaders in building children of character. Through the use of "The Creative Curriculum" our program encompasses the YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility, and faith.
