Covid-19 Safety
Safety and health are at the forefront of our minds! We are constantly updating procedures to match or exceed current health guidelines. We require all children and staff to wear face masks at all times. Upon entering the program space, we will conduct health screenings. Participants will remain in their own group and will not mix with other groups. Participants will social distance as much as possible. Currently, the YMCA is not providing food or beverages. If your child will be with us over the lunch hour, please send lunch. Water bottles are necessary and snacks for afternoon time are suggested. If your child has work from their school, we will have dedicated time set for quiet learning.
