HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE From membership prices to community outreach, swim lesson information to senior programs, this 2015 guide gives you everything you need to know about the Wallingford Family YMCA.

A week before the online member registration date, we will release a much smaller Program & Event Guide, with all of the program dates, times & rates that are offered during that session. You will be able to find this online, in our facilities and around town in local businesses.

Additional programs may be added throughout the year and certain classes may not run during a session. Dates and prices are also subject to change. These adjustments will be found in the Program & Event Guide.

Don’t hesitate to ask any one of our friendly staff members if you have any questions.

Thank you & welcome to the Wallingford Family YMCA!

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT All kids deserve the chance to discover who they are any what they can achieve, under the guidance of caring

adults who believe in their potential. We see every interaction with young people as an opportunity for learning and development - all grounded in the Y’s core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT Nurturing the potential of every child and teen

CHILD CARE

Corporate Child Care YMCA Corporate Child Care provides more than just a place to play. We provide experiences to help entire family units cope, grow, communicate and care for each other. We maintain and strengthen what starts at home, giving all kinds of families the support they need to succeed.

Our goal is to promote children’s emotional, social, physical and intellectual development while meeting the needs of families. We believe in the YMCA core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect & Responsibility. We promote these values among staff and encourage teachers to plan developmentally appropriate activities that reflect these core values.

For the times you can’t be there yourself, the YMCA supports your efforts to nurture the healthy growth of your child. It provides safe, affordable, high-quality care so you can have peace of mind while you work to help your family succeed.

Our use of primary care givers for infants encourages open communication between the care giver & the parent and helps bridge the gap between home & the center. Our infant to staff ratio is 3:1.

In an age-appropriate environment, experienced staff provides developmentally appropriate programs for each individual age group. Our curriculum is based on the interests and needs of the children and promotes emotional, social, physical and cognitive development.

THE EARLY LEARNING CENTER at Gaylord Hospital The Early Learning Center offers quality child care and Pre-K programs for children 8 weeks-5 years, Monday-Friday from 6:45AM-5:30PM. The High Reach Learning Curriculum is used with all age groups. PROGRAM ENHANCEMENTS

We stress a healthy spirit, mind and body. To help achieve this, we offer healthy snacks in both the morning and afternoon. Homework time is held every afternoon, with staff always present and ready to offer assistance. We utilize either the gym or playground daily to help keep the children active. Board games, tabletop activities and craft projects are also a daily part of the program. The children also participate in monthly community service projects. The YMCA’s core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility are some of the important things that make us different from other child care facilities.

SAGE at KinderHouse Our SAGE at KinderHouse program operates out of the KinderHouse on 16 Wallace Ave. We are a state licensed facility, with caring staff to provide a safe and fun environment for children of working parents or anyone who requires such care.

Students who attend AM Kindergarten are brought to the Y by the bus after dismissal, and attend the program until 6:00PM. They may also attend AM care at their school sites. Students bring their own lunch, and are provided both AM and PM snacks. Children swim once a week and have music & gym enrichment weekly. Computers are available in our media room. Games and manipulative toys are always available. Along with the gym, the children have a playscape in the back yard. The staff at KinderHouse are warm, nurturing, experienced, and fun. Come join the fun at KinderHouse!

Enrichment & Leadership for Middle School (ELMS) Enrichment & Leadership for Middle School (ELMS) is a licensed after school program running from the end of school until 6:00PM. Teens are bused to the YMCA/Rotary Teen Center from both middle schools at the close of school. Daily, students may participate in sports activities at Doolittle Park, YMCA fitness classes, and have full use of the YMCA/Rotary Teen Center. They are provided with a healthy snack and homework time during the afternoon. Community service, science and art projects highlight this program. The Middle School Afterschool Program will occasionally take field trips for bowling, go-karting and the movies, just to name a few. The children must complete a fundraising activity of their choosing in order to help subsidize the cost of this trip.

EDUCATION & LEADERSHIP

ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT

All Day Kindergarten The YMCA All Day Kindergarten occupies four spacious rooms on the 2nd floor of KinderHouse, located at 16 Wallace Street, Wallingford, CT. An enclosed playground, picnic tables and playscape provide a safe, outdoor area. The Wallingford YMCA was first to venture in operating a full day Kindergarten Program in the Wallingford Community and is 15 years young.

Academic Program runs from 9:00AM-3:00PM. Extended Day hours meet the needs of working parents for both before and after school care, 6:45AM-9:00AM and/or 3:00PM-6:00PM.

The All Day Kindergarten aims to meet the developmental needs of each child. Scheduling, pacing and rhythm of each activity are consistent with recognized principles of childhood education. These principles recognize that each child develops at his own unique rate within the general needs of his or her age group. The All Day Kindergarten provides creative opportunities and experiences which stimulate a child’s physical, social, intellectual and emotional development.

Students benefit from small class size, 1:1 instruction and the presence of two teachers daily. Handwriting, phonics, math, science, social studies and reading are part our daily lessons.

Enrichment programs include Reach for the Stars Reading Program, PAF (Preventing Academic Failure), Computer Tots computer classes, field trips, swim lessons, art, music, physical education and free swim.

The YMCA believes that activities which involve the parents in their child’s development should be included in Kindergarten. Activities to strengthen the family unit will give families, students and teachers the chance to work, play and learn together.

To schedule a visit or for more information, please contact our ADK staff Maggie Maugeri & Nancy Germain at 203-284-5328.

We are so much more than just Gym & Swim

The Wallingford Family YMCA is a non-profit organization that supports the community every day of the year, and never more so than in challenging and uncertain times. From cancer-survivor programs aimed to regain strength and endurance to programs fighting the youth obesity epidemic, the YMCA meets the needs of the Wallingford community. Over the past 70 years, the YMCA has provided programs for all to strengthen the spirit, mind and body and we can’t do it alone.

Our annual Community Support Campaign ensures that no one is turned away because of the inability to pay. Each year, the Wallingford Family YMCA provides financial assistance to thousands of local youth and families. As a non-profit organization, the Y relies on contributions from members and other friends to promote the healthy development of all regardless of their financial means. 100% of each contributed dollar goes to subsidize the cost of programs for children, families and seniors and to give financial assistance to those who need it.

Sustaining current subsidized programs $115,000
