At the YMCA, we serve children of all ages with various needs. Our number one goal is to provide the safest possible place for children to experience the Y. No food is allowed in the Nursery or Kids Center. This eliminates the risk of allergic reactions and choking hazards from food. Parents will still be allowed to bring an already prepared bottle for infants and toddlers. Water bottles will be allowed as well.
If you have any questions please contact Program Director Carlie Bleich at cbleich@jcymca.org.
