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, Smart Bikes and an Expresso Bike.
Our morning hours are reserved for preschool-like programming for our younger members. Please see our Activities Calendar for an up-to-date program schedule.

Admission and Check-In
Every time you bring your child to the RAC Childcare, we will ask for your name and one visit will be deducted from your account for each child. We do not need a reservation or prior notice in order for your child to use our facility, so feel free to drop off as long as you remain on the premises while your child is in our care.
Waiver of Liability
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.
Staffing
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.
