At the New Haven YMCA Youth Center, we are committed to providing our youth with the best care, recreation and learning opportunities available. Our preschool program for 3 and 4-year-olds is NAEYC accredited and provides a full day of activities. For children between 5-12, we have an afterschool care program that allows them to have fun and learn in a safe environment. Our older youth can take advantage of our walk-in program, which offers a range of recreational activities like open basketball and support. We strive to create a positive and nurturing atmosphere for all of our participants.
For more than 160 years, the YMCA has nurtured potential and united communities across America to create lasting, meaningful change. Everything the Y does is in service of building a better us. One of the most effective ways to accomplish this is to teach youth, teens, and adults to swim, so they can stay safe around water and learn the skills they need to make swimming a lifelong pursuit for staying healthy.
