Mommy, Daddy & Me Programs
The Y believes in demonstrating to our youth how fitness can sharpen our minds and build strong bodies. Programs will connect exercise with friendship and family time, giving parents/legal guardians the time to come together under two common goals, to build strong kids and strong families. Bring your children to play on the gymnastics equipment, alongside their supervised play date with our YMCA staff! Enjoy this time out of the house and meet other parents while your children play!
