There are many distractions competing for the attention of young people, and many of them are not good ones...drugs, violence, or a simple lack of moral guidance or healthy activity, Our kids need positive influences to support the messages they receive at home. The YMCA can help. We're a safe place for youth to stay active, spend time with friends and develop into strong, positive young adults. Caring adult role models foster and environment where kids have the opportunity to explore, create, challenge themselves and succeed.

Since 1982, Kynder Kapers, the YMCA’s preschool program, has been mixing socialization skills and kindergarten readiness with fun for 3-5 year olds during the school year, September through May.  Daily activities including storytime, singing, and tablework all revolve around a daily theme stressing colors, numbers, shapes, holidays, seasons, or reading readiness.  Free play, calendar recognition, and snacktime are also featured.  Special annual events include: holiday celebrations, Teddy Bear Picnic, Rockin’ PJ Bash, Mother’s Day Picnic Lunch, Valentine Box Decorating, and field trips…just to name a few.  Free swim is also held several times during the school year.
