Chandler / Gilbert YMCA

New Vistas Academy Adventure Club

For generations, the YMCA has been known for its commitment to family life.  YMCA programs and services have grown and adapted to the changing needs of families.  Today, more and more parents are looking for quality, affordable childcare they can depend on.

The Valley of the Sun YMCA believes that its childcare programs should provide children with opportunities to participate in activities that are focused on developmental assets.  developmental assets are the things that all young people need in their lives to thrive and become positive, product adults.  Assets are the building blocks that help them make positive and healthy choices throughout their lives.  Quality programs where children can learn new skills, develop important competencies, and establish healthy, supportive relationships with peers and adults are the backbone of asset development.

Out of this belief the Valley of the Sun YMCA has created the following vision statement for its childcare programs.

Vision

The Valley of the Sun YMCA child care programs are provided in family friendly, safe, and caring environments, that build developmental assets in our youth through developmentally appropriate, social, and educational activities that are values driven and modeled by qualified professional staff.

YMCA childcare provides its programs in clean, safe, and enriching environments.

Y childcare programs maintain low staff to child ratios and are staffed by caring, friendly, experienced personnel.  Many staff members have advanced degrees in education and related fields.  All are committed to professional development and attend training regularly.

The Adventure Club is held after school from 3:00 to 6:00 pm.  This program is operated by the Chandler / Gilbert YMCA’s experienced staff with a low ratio of 1:15 and operated on the school premises. 

The children have an opportunity to complete their homework, play group games and activities, enjoy snacks, and do arts and crafts!  It is a safe learning environment for the children and a great program that can be utilized by those parents that require extended hours beyond the regular school session.

Please contact the YMCA for Registration instructions.  The YMCA representatives are on site at New Vistas at 2:40 each afternoon.  Please be advised that there is a limit to the admission numbers for Preschool aged children and the YMCA is almost at that limit.
