Please contact Melissa Preston, Youth & Family Director, at mpreston@ymcabaycity.org if you have any questions, comments, or concerns about any part of our childcare program. Our Mission: The Y mission is to provide programs and services that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. YMCA afterschool and camp programs offer a fun and unique experience that gives children the opportunity to discover their full potential, meet new friends, and create memories that last a lifetime. YMCA after-school and camp programs also give children the opportunity to discover new interests, be more physically active, and develop confidence, independence, leadership, and social skills. “Putting Christian principles into practice that build a healthy mind, body and spirit for all.” Program Philosophy Accordion #1 The YMCA Child Development Center is geared to the individual needs of children The YMCA Child Development Center is geared to the individual needs of children. Each room provides a play-centered environment with a wide range of materials and developmentally appropriate activities, which allow children to manipulate, discover, explore, make choices, and create according to their interests. Each child is recognized and valued as a unique individual with a capacity for growth and development. Through group and individual activities, each child is encouraged to develop emotionally, socially, creatively, and intellectually, at his/her own rate. Our definition of quality is formed for the YMCA using standards established by the YMCA of the USA, the National Association for the Education of Young Children, and most importantly the needs of the individual children and parents/guardians we serve. The essential component of our childcare program is our staff. Staff are trained in growth and development and set age-appropriate expectations. Staff guide and direct children with warmth, concern, acceptance, approval, and respect enabling children to develop a strong, positive self-concept. A warm responsive atmosphere is provided to foster a sense of trust and autonomy, as well as to encourage cooperation, communication, and respect for others. Another component of our philosophy is that families should not be turned away due to an inability to pay for quality childcare. To this end, there is an established a scholarship fund (through United Way and our own Financial Assistance program) to assist parents/guardians in affording YMCA childcare. Donations are also welcome. Additionally, we accept DHS payments for childcare. The YMCA believes strongly that quality childcare is only possible when parents/guardians are involved in the makeup of the program, directly or indirectly. A variety of options are available for parents/guardians to participate in some way. Cultural Competency Plan Accordion #1 The Y is made up of people of all ages and from every walk of life working side by side to strengthen communities The Y is made up of people of all ages and from every walk of life working side by side to strengthen communities. Together we work to ensure that everyone, regardless of gender, income, faith, sexual orientation, or cultural background, has the opportunity to live life to its fullest. We share the values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility – everything we do stems from it. We recognize that there is diversity within our afterschool/camp programs and the larger community. We strive to provide a culturally competent classroom and embrace the unique aspects of each child and their family. As such, our care area uses items in the classroom to show differences and promote equity to our kids. Some examples: trying ethnic foods that represent different cultures, illustrative books, singing songs, learning Spanish, etc. In Afterschool & Summer Camp, we seek to create and promote innovative opportunities that reveal the natural potential in each and every child. We desire to help them gain a better understanding and admire the cultural differences in their relationships with one another. Our staff aim to lead by example as they continue to work effectively in cross-cultural situations to promote respect for all.

Additionally, we accept DHS subsidies from the State of Michigan for childcare. The YMCA believes strongly that quality childcare is only possible when parents are involved in the make-up of the program, directly or indirectly. Varieties of options are available for parents to participate in some way. Strengthening Families Philosophy We believe in and follow the Strengthening Families Initiative. We strive to engage families in activities that foster leadership, enhance understanding of child development and growth to promote a better line of communication between homes and our YMCA programming. This philosophy is based on the following protective factors: Parental resilience, social connections, knowledge of parenting and child development, concrete support in times of need, and social/emotional competence of children. CULTURAL COMPETENCY PLAN The Y is made up of people of all ages and from every walk of life working side by side to strengthen communities. We work together to ensure that everyone, regardless of gender, income, faith, sexual orientation or cultural background, has the opportunity to live life to its fullest. We share the values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility – everything we do stems from it. We recognize that there is diversity within our childcare and the larger community. We strive to provide a culturally competent classroom and embrace the unique aspects of each child and their family.

We desire to help them gain a better understanding and admire the cultural differences in their relationships with one another. Our staff aim to lead by example as they continue to work effectively in cross-cultural situations to promote respect for all. Our plan to create an environment which promotes cultural competence in our learning, growth, equity, and acceptance for all children, staff, and families will include the following strategies: Ensure that all individuals are treated equally and with kindness and respect at all times. Welcome all family members to meetings, happenings, and events. Work diligently with children, staff, and families to remove any biases and promote understanding and tolerance. Wherever possible, incorporate individual home cultures and traditions into the program and incorporate that into our curriculum. Get to know our children and families and find out what is culturally important to them. Encourage staff (and implement in our yearly PD plan requirements) to attend (online or in person) professional learning opportunities in cultural diversity and competence/anti bias. Work with families to develop and achieve goals with families. Display family pictures. Encouraging a child’s/family’s first language to be spoken Implement a “cultural celebration” which could include a show and tell time to share traditions/cultures. Encourage staff, children, and families to share traditions and cultures as they wish. Stock each classroom with educational materials which reflect diverse languages, ethnicities, and cultures (i.e. puzzles, puppets, music, dramatic play materials/clothing, utensils, books, manipulatives, food). Hours of Operation/Holidays The YMCA child development center will be open Monday through Friday from 7:00 am-6:00 pm (except the closing days listed below).
