OCONOMOWOC — The YMCA at Pabst Farms and Oconomowoc Area School District have partnered to provide childcare for essential health care workers and first responders during the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the closure of schools and an increased need to provide essential services for the most vulnerable in the community, the program offers child care services for essential health care workers, police officers, firefighters and EMTs.

The service is for children ages 4-12 and care will be offered from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday.

The cost of the program is $45 per day for as many days as needed and weekly attendance is not required.

“The Oconomowoc Area School District is proud to partner with the YMCA to provide this valuable service to these families as they face continuing challenges in their heroic work,” said Roger Rindo, Oconomowoc Area School District Superintendent.

The location for the child care will be at Summit Elementary School in Oconomowoc.

The program begins March 30. For more information, or to register, click here.
