Register Now for Preschool and School-Age Programs.
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development reports that high-quality childcare has a positive and lasting impact on a child's development and future academic and cognitive achievements. Children who are enrolled in high-quality childcare are less likely to misbehave than their peers who were enrolled in lower quality care.
How does this impact your family? The R.F. Wilkinson Family YMCA is committed to high-quality childcare through its NAEYC Accredited program. We are proud that this program is also a two-year Peninsula Metropolitan YMCA Platinum Cup Award winner.
Registration for the School Age program is currently ongoing. The R.F. Wilkinson Family YMCA serves the following area schools: Magruder, Matoaka, Waller Milll, Matthew Whaley, Norge, DJ Montague, Stonehouse and J. Blaine Blayton. Transportation to school from the YMCA and back to the Y after school is provided.
The R. F. Wilkinson School Age program provides a safe environment where children can make friends, be part of a group, meet physical challenges and know they are liked, respected and appreciated.
Care is provided on most holidays, winter and spring breaks, and inclement weather days.
For more information, or to register, contact Tiffany Pidcock at (757) 229-9622 or at tiffany.pidcock@peninsulaymca.org

| Quote-of-the-Month for Kids
Giving is an important part of living a fullfilled life. The R.F. Wilkinson YMCA offers many opportunities for members to give back to the community through programs such as Bright Beginning and the Strong Communities Campaign.
And, as we all know, charity begins at home. Children need to be taught the value of helping others, so each month we will feature a new quote for you to discuss with your children.
The quote for this month is:
"Giving is the lifeblood of happy living."
~Todd Parrish |
YMCA Mission: To put Christian principles into practice
through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
