Ontario-Montclair YMCA — Elderberry School Site is a CCLD-licensed day care center operated by the West End YMCA at 950 N Elderberry Ave in Ontario, serving school-age children through before-and-after school programs. Continuously licensed since November 1989, the center leverages YMCA organizational infrastructure and staff training across multiple Inland Empire locations, offering homework help, creative arts, sports, and fitness alongside healthy snacks. On-campus placement at an Ontario school eliminates transportation needs for enrolled families. The center's operational status should be independently verified with the West End YMCA, as public review data remains limited and Yelp listings show conflicting information; families seeking full-day infant or preschool care will need alternative providers.
