childcare
YMCA Sailorway Learning and Enrichment Center is a nonprofit-operated program of the YMCA of Greater Cleveland, located at 5355 Sailorway Dr. in Vermilion, serving school-age children with after-school childcare and enrichment programming. The facility maintains a clean inspection record and offers flexible scheduling, summer day camps with varied activities, and structured Y-Club before and after school programming.
