Play and Learn
Play and Learn is an exclusive member benefit for children ages 6 weeks to 6 years old. Our trained staff will watch and entertain your kids for up to two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon while you remain on Y property. Creating a nurturing environment of warmth, friendliness, and freedom, we lead children through a variety of fun & safe playtime activities including stories, crafts, dress-up, and active play.
The participating child must be a Y member; an adult-only membership should be converted to a family membership in order to receive this benefit.
How to Participate:
Play and Learn is included in all family memberships, so there's no need to sign up. Simply scan your child's Y member card when you come into the facility, then bring them to the Play and Learn room.
Rules:
- For ages 6 weeks to 6 years old.
- Parent or guardian must remain on Y property.
- A child may stay in Play and Learn for up to two hours each morning and two hours each afternoon.
