*Protecting children is a priority at the Billings Family YMCA therefore we have a policy in ChildWatch that all children participating in this program must be vaccinated.  We will not accept any exemptions for immunizations (this includes medical and religious exemptions).  The policy is in place due to the nature of our ChildWatch program being a drop-in center, with children ranging from 8 weeks to 12 years old and serving hundreds of children weekly that circulate through this program.
