turns and working in a group are a natural part of
playing games or learning a new craft. The Y is an

stretch their skills in mind and body. It is also a
safe, comfortable place where children build
positive relationships with caring adults.

At the YMCA we recognize the time families spend
together is precious and for many families it is
becoming harder and harder to find quality time and
activities. The Penobscot Bay YMCA is proud to
continue our Family Prime Time - a great concept
in family programming. We have made it easy for
families to enjoy the Y, offering free supervised
care for children during select hours from Monday
through Friday. Take time for family activities or
enjoy a workout while the YMCA staff provides fun
activities for your children. Call the Penobscot Bay
YMCA today at 236-3375 or stop by the front desk
for more information.

Family Prime Time is for parents who wish to use
the YMCA while their children are safely supervised
for up to 2 hours a day.

We will deliver children to a program within our
building and provide a safe return to our Prime
Time room.

We do not feed children while in Prime Time
however, we will have water available for the
children.

Your children will have fun while playing
educational games, dancing to music, running in
the gym and using the playground.

Staff is trained in CPR and First Aid.

* Childcare & Family Programs require membership
with wear 'n tear fee, plus a non-refundable
registration fee of $30.

Start your child's journey to becoming a lifelong
