YMCA of the East Bay — Mountain View (Concord) is a California-licensed School Age Day Care Center at 1705 Thornwood Dr in Concord, serving school-age children before and after school hours. Operated by the YMCA of the Central Bay Area, the facility emphasizes physical activity, creative learning, and character development across its network of nearly 1,000 children. Licensed for 50 children since October 2010, it maintains a strong compliance record with no citations in recent CCLD inspections (2023 and 2026). As a school-age program, it is not suitable for infants or preschoolers, and its primary focus on before- and after-school care may limit options for full-day childcare needs.
