Kids & Families PLAYCENTER ages 3 months-12
PARENT BREAKS
Our PlayCenters offer playful and engaging options for your children while you exercise or connect with others over shared interests. Your peace of mind and the happiness of your child are the priorities of our long time and experienced staff. They will help your child grow socially through games, informal play, sharing and taking turns. Children are provided with positive social experiences in a secure, playful environment while in our care. Our Playcenters are a free drop-off service for facility members only. There is a 2-hour maximum per child per day, up to 8 hours per week.
Parent’s Morning Out ages 2 years-PK5: We provide a nurturing place for your child to play, learn and grow. Our program emphasizes a hands-on learning curriculum, motor skill development and creativity. This program provides an environment for children to learn, gain self-confidence, and make new friends. Activities include circle time, reading, arts & crafts, and basic early learning skills, such as shapes, colors, abc’s, counting and enhanced socialization skills. Pack a snack/lunch for your child each day (no peanut products).
Older kids, ages 5-12, will be on the move, in our PlayCenters! As an extension of our Child Watch program, kids will move around our facility to play games on the basketball court/arena, racquetball court, and in our activity room areas for arts and crafts. Our goal is to keep kids active and moving all the while having a great time playing games with their friends at the Y.
