Nursery / Kids Center

At the YMCA, we serve children of all ages with various needs. Our number one goal is to provide the safest possible place for children to experience the Y. We are implementing this policy in order to eliminate the risk of allergic reactions and choking hazards from food. Parents will still be allowed to bring a bottle for infants and toddlers. Water bottles will be allowed as well.

If you have any questions please contact Brittany Watkins at 573-761-0716/ bwatkins@jcymca.org or Iris DeSha at idesha@jcymca.org
