Who will be working with my child throughout the school year?
Your child will be guided by our trained, caring, and dedicated staff.
At the Y, we believe that our staff is our greatest resource. Our team all have prior experience working with children and have school-age-specific training to ensure they not only provide your child with a fun experience but a safe and educational one as well.
To ensure your child is in safe hands, all staff members must also pass through a rigorous series of background checks including FBI Fingerprinting, National Child Abuse Registry, National & State Sex Offender Registry, and full reference checks.
All staff receive training on key topics like Child abuse Recognition and Prevention, CPR and First-Aid Training, Health and Safety, Character Development and Group Dynamics, and SO much more!
