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!
CORE MEMORIES: MOVE & PLAY
Where movement becomes natural—and memories last forever! Get ready for a brand-new way for your little one to move, play, explore and grow — right alongside their favorite grown-up! CORE MEMORIES: MOVE & PLAY introduces little ones to the joy of sports through playful movement, agility activities and age-appropriate skill development. Every 7-week session brings a new sport to explore while helping little athletes build balance, coordination, body control, agility and gross-motor skills — the building blocks that help movement become more natural and automatic. THIS SESSION: SOCCER! And the best part? You’re making those CORE MEMORIES together. Little moves today. Big memories tomorrow.
