Childcare for ECPI Students, Faculty & Staff

Give your child a strong start with YMCA childcare

ECPI University & the YMCA have teamed up to offer a childcare benefit for students, faculty and staff.

Through ECPI University’s $500,000, five-year commitment to the YMCA of South Hampton Roads, reliable childcare is more accessible for ECPI students, faculty and staff. Depending on what works best for your household, you can choose between two options to reduce your childcare costs:

  • Income-Based Financial Assistance (Up to 40% Off) Submit an application through the YMCA’s confidential Open Doors program to qualify for sliding-scale assistance up to 40% off published rates. The online form is simple, and you will receive a response within one business day.
  • Direct ECPI Student, Faculty & Staff Discount (10% Off + $0 Enrollment Fee) If you prefer to skip the application, you can fill out the brief ECPI discount form to receive 10% off published rates and a waived enrollment fee on eligible childcare services.

Our goal is simply to support you and your family where you are.

Take your next step today and make sure to sign up with your ECPI University email address so we can verify your eligibility. 

Income-based assistance of up to 40% off care available through the Y's Open Doors may not be combined with the 10% ECPI discount. We encourage you to complete both the Open Doors application and the ECPI discount form so we can associate the highest discount and tuition support possible to your YMCA account.
