UNSINKABLE Ages 3-12 For children in the foster care system

Every child should be given the chance to learn how to swim; however, social or economic factors sometimes prevent access for children in foster care. That’s why the B.R. Ryall YMCA partnered with Brigid Coleman and Eric Robben, a local foster family, to create UNSINKABLE—a swim program designed to ensure access so foster kids can thrive by learning water safety and gaining confidence.

HOW UNSINKABLE WORKS The Coleman-Robben family invested in UNSINKABLE to subsidize swim lessons for local foster kids. Thanks to their support, participants pay a discounted rate of just $25 for a five-week lesson session.

To register, select your desired lesson time, then visit the Membership Services Desk with a copy of your 906 Placement Authorization Form.

SWIM ACADEMY AND SWIM TEAM


The Y is the starting point for many youthto learn the importance of being active and developing healthy habits, but the benefits are far greater than just physical.

OUR PROGRAMS TEACH MORE THAN JUST SPORTS SKILLS.

When kids play sports, they get more than exercise. Besides being physically healthier, they have higher self-esteem and a healthier body image. Kids who play sports perform better in school, develop better interpersonal skills and work better in groups.

With the values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility at the core of our instruction, youth get a lot more than just proper technique from our programs. They gain life skills that will help them succeed on and off the field of play.

YOUTH SPORTS AND FITNESS

ROOKIE DIVISION Recommended for grades 1-3Basket height goes up to 8.5” and officiating becomes more detailed as these older kids learn the game. This league prepares players for the next level.

PROVIDING PEACE OF MIND


SCHOOL-AGE CHILD CARE

At Bright Beginnings Preschool, we believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for future success. That’s why our preschool is staffed with people who understand the cognitive, physical and social development of young kids; the need kids have to feel connected and supported in trying new things; and the caring and reinforcement families need. Most importantly, children learn how to be their best selves. That makes for confident kids today, and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.

The foundation of our curriculum is the building of relationships and secure bonds. Each classroom's schedule allows for an equal amount of activity and rest, as well as for indoor and outdoor activities. Our teachers take into account every child's developmental history, family home values, beliefs, experiences, religion and language, and adapt their teaching methods accordingly.

HOURS: Monday - Friday 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. We ask that children arrive no later than 9 a.m.Lunch and two light snacks are served daily.

CLASSROOMS: Caterpillars (Age 2), Butterflies (Ages 3-4)and Rockets (Ages 4-5)

NOTES: Children must turn the required age by September 1, and must be toilet-trained for Butterflies and Rockets.

This program is for half-day kindergarten students in Districts 41 and 200. Designed to supplement the half-day program for those needing full-day care, the curriculum encompasses themes of art, math, literacy and conflict resolution.

Transportation is provided to or from school via the Y minibus. Child receive lunch and a snack daily, and enjoy swimming once a week.

MORNING PROGRAMCare begins at 6:30 a.m. and ends at 12:10 p.m., when your child is transported to school.

AFTERNOON PROGRAMYour child is picked up from school at 11:30 a.m. and transported to the Y for care, available until 6 p.m.

Space is limited and fills quickly.
