Childcare and Youth Fitness Center
The Childcare Department at the RAC offers exceptional care for all ages in a fun, nurturing environment that encourages children to grow and learn.
We are very excited to begin offering age appropriate programs and activities, which will allow our young members to experience the fun of exercise. It is our goal at the RAC to provide your children with the options to lead a healthy lifestyle. Some of our newer activities include: Wii Fit and Smart Bikes.

Parents and/or Guardian are required to fill out a waiver of liability for their children before the facility is used for the first time.

Each employee at the RAC Childcare has at least one year of experience at our facility and 75 percent of our staff has children of their own. Every employee at the RAC is CPR and First Aid certified.
Diapering
If your child is in disposable diapers, please provide extras and we will be happy to change your child when necessary; please note that no cloth diapers will be changed.
Illness
In order to prevent the spread of illness to other children or our staff, we ask that you keep your child home if they have a cold, cough, fever, runny nose or any other cold or flu symptoms. Please be fever-free for at least 24 hours prior to attending the youth fitness center.
Snacks
The RAC Childcare does have snack times throughout the day and is happy to distribute any snack you provide for you child. We do not provide the snacks in childcare due to the increase in food allergies. We are a peanut free zone so please refrain from bringing peanut products and please inform the staff if your child has any other food allergies.
