Programs at the YMCA

Youth Programs

Early Learning Readiness (ELR) Program (FREE OF CHARGE)

Are you the caregiver (parent, relative, family friend, etc.) of a child aged 5 or younger? Through this caregiver and child class, your child will have a safe, fun place to play, explore, and learn through songs, stories, learning activity centers, and family activities. The Early learning Readiness (ELR) program not only provides you with the tools and support needed to be effective first teachers, but with the guidance and resources to instill a strong relationship within yourself and your child.

For upcoming dates on when the classes begin, please contact the YMCA.
