Free On-Site Childcare
YWCA Spokane provides a free on-site childcare service for caregivers accessing YWCA services in person.
We believe childcare should never prevent a person from receiving the help they need. If you need this service, please call ahead of time to reserve a spot, as space is limited.
This free service allows caregivers to focus their energy on meeting their personal goals and healing through YWCA Spokane’s services.
Note: Caregivers must remain on-site at YWCA Spokane for the duration of the time that their children are utilizing the drop-in childcare service.
Classes Available

The Thread Writing Group
In his poem “The Way It Is”, William Stafford writes, “There’s a thread you follow… While you hold it, you can’t get lost.”
This group offers an opportunity to explore the thread of our own stories through writing. Guided writing prompts, support to get you started, along with time and space to write will be features of this group.
Opportunities to improve nervous system resilience through mindfulness and guided reflection will be woven throughout. We invite you to explore your story with us.
