CHILD CARE

Monett Prime Time

The Prime Time After School Program in Monett is going to finish the year strong. Our enrollment is higher than it has ever been for the month of March. The children and staff both are enjoying the new found warmth that comes with springtime. With only a few weeks left of the school year our thought are turning toward Summer Vacation, swimming at the pool, and going to Summer Odyssey.

We continue to serve the children of Monett from grades K - 6 with our site at Monett Central Park School. Our weekly schedule consists of Physical activities, Arts and Crafts, Daily Nutritious Snack, Daily Homework time, and of course socializing time with friends. We bus participating kids grades K-2 from the Monett Elementary School, 5^th and 6^th grade participants from Monett Intermediate, and all participating kids from St. Lawrence, on one of the YMCA busses, to the Central Park school every day of the week.

We are still accepting registrations, and have a limited Prime Time number of spots still available.

Aurora Prime Time

The Prime Time After School Program in Aurora is going to finish the year above and beyond all expectations. Our current enrollment exceeds our original expectations and the pains that usually come with the beginning of a new child care center have been very minimal. We are continuing to receive phone calls and questions about the program and have heard only positive comments from both parents of currently enrolled children and the staff at Pate Early Childhood Center. I want to think our parents and the Pate staff for all of their past, present, and continued support of the program.

We are excited to be serving the children of Aurora from grades K-6^th and their parents with our site at Pate Early Childhood Center. Our weekly schedule consists of Physical activities, Arts and Crafts, Daily Nutritious Snack, Daily Homework time, and of course socializing time with friends. Participating children grades 3 - 6 are bused from Robinson Elementary and Robinson Intermediate every day of the week to be part of our exciting program.

We are still accepting registrations.

COMMUNITY EVENTS

417 Magazine Idea Home

In the Estates at Summit Ridge

The YMCA needs your help!

We're looking for Volunteers for the spectacular 417 Magazine Idea Home in the Estates at Summit Ridge, an exclusive gated community located in east Springfield. Volunteers will act as guides as people tour the home. A Volunteer coffee will be held on May 26 to give complete information.

The YMCA will host home tours June 2-5 (Thurs - Sun) and June 9-12,with 3-hour volunteer shifts available.

Proceeds from the tours will go to the YMCA Strong Kids financial assistance program to help kidsand families! If you'd like to volunteer, please contact Keith Morris @ 417-862-8962 X133 or at kmorris@orymca.org. We can't do it without you! Please come out and help!

The Old World style home is the concept of Euro World Designs by Ron Hill and is being built by Doug Pits Construction. It showcases a 6,800 square foot open floor plan, which was built to accommodate the needs and activities of today's busy family. The home will feature the latest interior amenities, upscale home furnishings, top of the line appliances, luxurious fixtures and the latest in home comfort technologies, all provided by the best and brightest suppliers and designers in 417 land . The 417 Idea Home is sure to inspire you with its creative ideas that you can incorporate in your own home.

As the 2011 Idea Home is in the making we invite you to follow the progress online at www.417ideahome.com .

Through the Strong Kids Financial Assistance program, Ozarks Regional YMCA awarded 1.3 million dollars in financial assistance to more than 5,000 people so they could participate in Prime Time before and after school child care, youth sports, swim lessons, Y memberships, gymnastics, Camp Wakonda, Arts Academy and other YMCA programs.

Camp Wakonda

Your summer adventure starts at Camp Wakonda. We offer week-long overnight camp experiences for grades 2^nd -9^th.

The 2011 year will be an exciting year for camp Wakonda as we welcome our new pool facility and an improved program. Campers will learn about themselves, the environment, and gain new skills. They will build new friendships with both cabin mates and counselors. Camp Wakonda allows campers to experience God and the Y mission in a pristine outdoor environment where they feel close to God's perfect creation.

They'll have a great time playing games, climbing on the tower, swimming in the pool, and just being kids. They will be challenged to think of how to become people of character and of course they will have tons of fun!

For information or a brochure, contact Matt Shroyer at 417-491-4206 or mshroyer@campwakonda.org
