Town Talk 09/01/20: Henderson Family YMCA Offers Daily Child Care, School Assistance

/by

100.1 FM ~ 1450 AM ~ WIZS, Your Community Voice ~ Click to LISTEN LOCAL

Dana Holloman, director of Youth Services at the Henderson Family YMCA, appeared on WIZS Town Talk Tuesday at 11 a.m.

The Henderson Family YMCA is helping local students, parents and teachers by offering in-person full-time or part-time school assistance/child care through its Back To School Academy. The program runs from 7:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. Monday – Friday. After-School Care only is also available weekdays from 2 until 6 p.m.

Though the program began with the start of the new school year on August 17, space is still available for both YMCA members and non-members.

 

Participants are asked to bring their necessary school device, books, work packets, etc.; a yoga/nap mat or blanket for quiet time; an extra set of clothes, swimwear, towel and flip flops; lunch that does not require heating; quiet time material such as a favorite book or magazine; and a reusable water bottle. Snacks are provided in the morning and afternoon.

According to Holloman, the YMCA provides the appropriate time for the student to log in for virtual learning each morning or for them to work on their online schoolwork or assigned worksheets. Each participant is assigned to their appropriate age, grade or school group.

In the afternoon, participants “have time to unwind” with both indoor and outdoor activities including swimming, youth sports clinics, arts and crafts, robotics, playtime and virtual field trips. Afternoon academic time is provided for those who need to log in for virtual school lessons later in the day.

The YMCA conducts daily health screenings with temperature checks and basic health questions on all campers and camp staff. YMCA camp counselors are required to wear a face covering; masks are optional for campers. Face coverings are available to campers by request.

All Back to School Academy and After School activities, crafts, games and sports adhere to social distancing guidelines.

-Information courtesy the Henderson Family YMCA

The Henderson Family YMCA will be closed for business from the evening of March 16 through at least the early morning of March 30. This closure includes After School camps.

The YMCA posted the following statement concerning the closures on its website:

These are unprecedented times. COVID-19 (coronavirus) is a global pandemic and a national emergency, and nobody is certain what the days ahead hold.

It’s hard to imagine more difficult circumstances for operating our YMCA. We are a community organization. We bring people together – from all backgrounds and circumstances – and create personal connections that change lives through membership and programs. But the nature of this virus, and how it spreads, presents significant challenges for our Y.

As members of our team, your safety, health and well-being remain a top priority of our Y. In light of recent developments and decisions that other community and public entities have made to close, and with an abundance of caution, we are making adjustments to Y programs and services.

FACILITIES
Following the recommendations from the CDC, Governor Cooper, public school systems and our state and local health officials, we are temporarily suspending facility usage. This includes facility access, group fitness classes and wellness programs. This is effective at 9 p.m. on, Monday, March 16, until at least March 30 at 5 a.m.

YOUTH SPORTS
We are suspending all youth sports programs effective immediately until April 13. We are currently working to reschedule practices and games. We will share updates with you in the days ahead.

SWIM LESSONS
All swim lessons have been suspended beginning Tuesday, March 17 through March 29. Be on the lookout for additional communications regarding rescheduling.

SCHOOL PROGRAMS
The YMCA is suspending all youth school programs we operate beginning March 17 through at least March 29.

Suspended programs include After School Camp and All Day Camp. Be on the lookout for additional communications regarding your financial account and program options.

GROUP EXERCISE CLASSES
To help you stay active, the Y has launched Y360. These virtual classes have been made available to you at no cost during this crisis so you can stay healthy at home.

MEMBERSHIP
On behalf of everyone at the Henderson Family YMCA, we ask that you remain a part of our Y and continue to support the critical work we do in our community. The significant impact we have on individuals, children, families and those who need us most is dependent on our program and membership fees. Your membership fees enable our Y to help the community, support our employees and remain strong through these extraordinary circumstances.
