— Furniture Today,
HIGH POINT — The downtown YWCA here is offering child care for furniture market attendees and exhibitors.


From 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on market days — Oct. 16-22 — children six months and older can stay at the Y and enjoy activities, games, snacks, lunch, movies and naps.

“One of our board members expressed a need for it,” said Heidi Majors, YWCA executive director. “So we decided we need to support the High Point Market.”

Although the organization has offered child care for the past three markets, turnout has been low. In April, only two children attended. There is space for as many as 30 children.

“It’s something that makes it easier for attendees or people working, if they need temporary daycare,” said Majors.

The fee for children three years old and up is $30 per day. Parents can call the Y for the fee of younger children. The childcare program for the market was developed for a limited number of children, on a first-come, first-served basis.

The YWCA is at 112 Gatewood Ave., High Point. For information, contact the Y at (336) 882-4126 or visit the Web site www.ywcahp.com/Market.htm.
