With kids and youth spending more time inside and stationary, we want to give them the opportunity to spend more time outside and participating in fun activities and competing in sports. By guiding children to a physically healthy life, we are giving them the opportunity to contribute and become engaging adults. We want to help families remain physically active and emotionally strong. In the pages that follow, you will see many programs, sports and activities that are youth-oriented and offered at one or more of our three Downtown Ys. Welcome to the Downtown Indy Ys. With access to all Ys in the Greater Indianapolis area - we offer dozens of youth-oriented programs. To name a few: • Child Care and preschool programs that teach children social skills and values, giving them the foundations they’ll need to flourish. • Youth swim lessons that build confidence and save lives. • Youth sports that teach fundamentals and instill in children the importance of a healthy, active lifestyle. PLAY AND LEARN “Play is the work of young children and is the foundation of learning.” In Play and Learn, your child will experience all kinds of fun and engaging activities while you work out! Children will play in a center-based environment with age-appropriate materials.

Programs are designed to offer developmentally appropriate learning experiences for children ages 3-5.

Activities will focus on a variety of skills, including early reading, early writing, early math concepts, art projects, science experiments, music, and much more. A positive self-concept is promoted as children learn to share, participate in group games and projects, take care of belongings, and put things away after use.
