Account Creation and Registration Process

Are you a YMCA member?

If not, the first step in the process is to set up a profile so you'll be able to register for care. There is no charge for creating this profile.

Please follow the link and instructions below:

1. https://www.grymca.org/

2. Click "Join" in the white bar at the top.

3. Choose Cal Community Center.

  • This is our home office; care will still be at your child’s school, don't worry!

4. Scroll all the way to the bottom and click "Non-Member".

  • No fee from membership.
  • Complete basic information

5. You now will have a login; I encourage you to write this down and keep it in a safe place. You will need it to login and register your child for care.

6. Log in; Go to “Account”

  • Add members; add child needing child care
  • Here is where you enter your family's information. All areas must be complete. Please be as detailed as possible when entering your child's information.

Now you can register for programming at your child’s school using your new login, or if you're a Y member already:

1. Follow the registration links for the school your child attends

        Baker Elementary Before and After School Program

        Dorr Elementary Before and After School Program

2. As you can see, there are many options to choose from.

  • Read carefully, as there are AM and PM options.
  • This is also where you can see rates for care. We try very hard to tailor programming so that it's just right for what you need.


When I get a notification that you've reached this point, I will move us forward with next steps. If you get stuck, don't hesitate to reach out.
