Child Care Services The University has established a partnership with the YMCA in Waterloo to provide child care services to meet the needs of students, staff and faculty. Child care is provided primarily through two YMCA child care centres located within a five minute driving distance of the University. Child care is offered at the infant, toddler and preschool levels. For further information, contact the YMCA directly at (519) 885-3500 and indicate an affiliation with Wilfrid Laurier University.
