“As one of our YMCA national areas of focus, youth development is foundational to us,” said CEO Sam Casalano. “We believe that the skills and values children learn early on are vital building blocks for quality of life and future success. As we strive to support the development of every child cognitively, physically, spiritually and socially, and also recognize the essential nature of our partnership between school and home, it is our desire that every child realize their full potential, resulting in confident kids today and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow. Our name change is part of our journey and we are grateful to partner with families in our wonderful community.”

To better assist the growing program, Interim Director Shanna Good will remain as the Associate Director of Child Development. Shanna’s extensive knowledge of the community and years of YMCA service make her an ideal fit to compliment and complete the leadership team.
“We are excited to welcome Katie and we look forward to great things under her leadership. We are also pleased to have Shanna Good remain with our Child Development Center as part of her ongoing YMCA responsibilities. Shanna also serves as our Member Services Director and is a strong asset to our association,” noted Casalano.
To better serve families, hours of operation will expand to 5:30 AM- 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, effective in September.
Research shows that children enrolled in high quality early learning programs are more likely to stay in school, attend college, earn more money and be employed in high-skilled jobs than their peers.
