WELCOME

OUR FOCUS

WE FOCUS OUR WORK IN THREE KEY AREAS, BECAUSE NURTURING THE POTENTIAL OF KIDS, HELPING PEOPLE LIVE HEALTHIER, AND SUPPORTING OUR NEIGHBORS ARE FUNDAMENTAL TO STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES.

We believe that to bring about meaningful change in individuals and communities, we must be focused and accountable. At the Y, we measure the success of our cause by how well we engage communities in our three areas of focus.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

Nurturing the potential of every child and teen.

HEALTHY LIVING

Improving the nation's health and well-being.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Giving back and providing support to our neighbors.

OUR COMMITMENT TO CHILDHOOD SAFETY

The Meadowlands Area YMCA is dedicated to providing you and your family with a safe, welcoming atmosphere in all of our programs. Our staff and volunteers are critical to this goal. The YMCA has in place a comprehensive pre-employment screening procedure to screen-out staff and volunteers not suited for working with children. Additionally, our staff and volunteers receive Child Abuse Prevention training and are required to adhere to a Code of Conduct, which 1. Prohibits them from being alone with a child at any point,

including having planned contact with youth participants when they are off duty - including babysitting, play dates, and communication online. 2. Prohibits them from giving children any personal gifts or asking them to keep secrets. 3. Prohibits them from using their own vehicles to transport children. Parents place their trust in the YMCA to help their children thrive.

OUR CORE VALUES ? caring, honesty, respect and

responsibility- are part of everything we do. Because of this, we place a great value on creating the most child-safe environment possible. Parents are seen as program partners so your feedback is important to us, especially as it relates to the staff Code of Conduct. Please contact a Professional Director by calling 201.955.5300 to share any observations, concerns, suggestions, and/or comments. You may also refer to our website for more information on this topic.

ALL DAY AND MORNING OR AFTERNOON ENRICHMENT

Our preschool/day care services offer full and half day options. Choose 2-5 days per week. Your child will love our preschool's curriculum; every day will be a new adventure. If you would like to take a tour or get more information about pricing, please call 201-955-5300 x 29.

Children are like sponges ? they watch and absorb knowledge, skills and values from everything and everyone around them. At the Y, we believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for quality of life and future success. That's why our child care and afterschool programs are staffed with people who understand the cognitive, physical and social development of the needs children have to feel connected and supported in trying new things, and the caring and reinforcement parents and families need to help each other. At the Y, preschoolers experience early literacy, make friends, and learn about their world. Most importantly, children learn how to be their best selves, which makes for confident children today and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.
