Center For Children

Art Show was in full bloom this year! 🌸🎨

Our center was filled with colorful, creative artwork as our young artists proudly showed off their creations. Families enjoyed special treats, fun activities, and a wonderful time celebrating together. Thank you to everyone who helped make it such a special event! 🌼

We celebrated National Puzzle Day by putting together puzzles independently and with our peers! Puzzles not only help strengthen a child's fine motor and cognitive skills but helps them understand spatial awareness and practice persistence.

The center will be closed on Wednesday, January 28th. We will reassess conditions for Thursday for opening with limited hours. Our sidewalks and roads around the center are being worked on but aren’t safe for families and staff at this time. We hope everyone continues to be safe.

The center will be closed Tuesday, January 27th due to winter weather and road conditions. We hope everyone is staying safe and warm! ❄️

The center will be closed on Monday, January 26th due to continuing winter weather and extreme cold temperatures impacting road conditions. We hope everyone stays safe and warm! ❄️ ⛄️

The Preschool and Kindergarten Prep classes have been busy exploring our new Kodo Kids magnet wall pieces and constructing with Imagination Playground Big Blue Blocks. These open-ended materials support STEM learning, collaboration, and creative thinking through play. We love seeing their ideas come to life!

Here are some snapshots from this week! We hope everyone has a spectacular weekend⭐

We are so grateful for the incredible thoughtfulness of our families this past week! Thank you for spoiling our teachers and staff with a cozy coffee, hot cocoa, and tea bar, a delicious dessert bar, Chick-fil-A breakfast, and gift cards. We are thankful for having wonderful families like yours and for allowing us to care for your children. Wishing all of our families a joyful, warm, and wonderful holiday season! 🎄✨

We’re happy to share that our amazing staff and families helped us collect 73 coats and $200 in donations for the Believing In Forever Inc. coat drive! 🧥

Thank you to Devine Carama for your dedication to helping our community! Big thanks to Chef Imani for helping organize this for the center and to everyone who donated coats or money. Your support is making a real difference and helping keep children in our community warm this winter. ❄️💙 YMCA of Central Kentucky

Winter wonderland fun! The children have loved playing in the snow — especially making their very own snow angels. ⛄✨

At around 2 years old, we start helping children learn to put on their coats using the “flip method”! It’s such a fun and empowering way for them to build independence, confidence, and motor skills. We love watching them master this big milestone!

Big thanks to Fayette County Public Schools for inviting our older children to trick-or-treat! The children had a great time, and there were lots of smiles all around!
