NURTURED HEART APPROACHThe YMCA has now adapted and uses the Nurtured Heart Approach, developed by Howard Glasser, when working with children in the Early Learning and School Age Learning Centers. This approach is used by many of the schools in the community and parents. It teaches the staff to accentuate the greatness of the child and give them energy around their positive behaviors and not the negative behaviors. It sets clear expectations and consequences for children which empowers them to make positive decisions.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT Child Care Child Care at the YMCA is about more than looking after kids. It’s about nurturing their

development by providing a safe place to learn foundational skills, develop healthy, trusting relationships and build self-reliance through the Y values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility and health.

Y SWIM SCHOOLChildren in this class will build on previous levels by working on swimming under water, beginning to define swim strokes and learning more water safety skills. Swimmers will learn backstroke, front crawl, elementary backstroke and be able to retrieve toys from the bottom of the pool.

In this class, participants will build on their independent swimming ability by swimming further distances. Being able to transition from swimming on their front to their back with ease is one of the skills that will build this swimmers confidence. This skill is also a major water safety skill and building block toward formalized strokes in future levels.

In this level, encouragement and positive reinforcement will help little swimmers become more skilled swimming independently. Floating independently on their front and back as well as kicking across the pool on their back independently is stressed in this class for water safety reasons.

Toddlers ages 19-35 months and the parent will enjoy this class together as well. This class teaches the parent how to work with their child on relaxed floating, gaining breath control for submerging, independent climbing out of pool and muscle strengthening. This class will also include games and songs.

Babies ages 6-18 months and the parent will enjoy the class together. This class is an excellent bonding opportunity between parent and baby. This class teaches the parent how to properly hold their baby while working on floating, submerging, hand/eye coordination and muscle strengthening through games and songs.

These experienced swimmers will be able to swim multiple lengths of the pool in each of the competitive strokes: front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. Children in this class will also be skilled in elementary backstroke and sidestroke. Safety is emphasized in this class while students learn various forms of survival swimming which they will be able to do for ten consecutive minutes.

Children in this class will increase their strength and endurance by swimming multiple lengths of front crawl and backstroke with flip turns. Your swimmer will progress by completing the butterfly and breaststroke. Endurance will be increased even more by working on being able to swim 300 yards continuously.

Swimmers in the Otter class will gain confidence as they begin to swim further distances in backstroke, front crawl and elementary backstroke. Children will learn dolphin kick, the timing of breaststroke, and will start to learn flip turns.

Children 3 years old can begin getting comfortable in the water independent of their parents. Through patience and trust, children in this level will overcome their fear and eventually swim independently. Instructors work with children at their own pace encouraging students to progress through games and fun.

Insta-Gators is a great option for children who are considering joining a swim team. In this class, students will work on the four competitive strokes, learn common swim team drills, increase endurance and strength, and learn competitive starts. Lesson participants need to complete the Otter level in order to join Insta-Gators. *Insta-Gators meet twice a week.
