CHILDCARE

Hempfield recCenter has several ways to help you with childcare!

Kid’s Corner is our free-to-members program for moms and dads needing some babysitting while they work out. Monday-Saturday from 9am-12 noon, and Monday-Thursday from 5-8pm you will see children ages 18 months through 10 years old reading, socializing, playing games, and involved in a variety of age-appropriate activities. Parents or legal guardians must remain on-site and be accessible at all times. Our Kids Corner is restricted to dependents of members only.

School-Age Childcare – Working parents rejoice! Check out the Rec’s affordable before-and-after school care options at each of the Hempfield School District area elementary schools. Join us before and after school each day the school district is in session! We offer full-time childcare here at the Rec for the duration of the summer with Summer Day Camp. Swimming, field trips, sports, crafts, nature experiences, and more will delight elementary-age kids and keep boredom at bay.
