Programs: Child care: our ymca provides high quality child care by providing comprehensive activities for preschool and school age children drawing on diverse members of our community. We provide both full and part time options to serve a wide range of family scheduling needs. Woven into the fabric of the ymca missions is a commitment to strengthening families. Ymca childcare programs relieve the burden of balancing work and family and make it possible for parents of children in our care to remain gainfully employed, knowing that their children are thriving in a safe, developmentally sound environment.
health and wellness for youth and adults: helping people of all ages and abilities develop health in spirit, mind and body is at the core of the ymca movement. Our programs are designed to help people create realistic goals of self-improvement and emphasize disease prevention through regular exercise, proper nutrition, stress management, and health education.
