Family Fun Nights
The Y’s Child Care team is excited to offer a series of Family Fun Nights for our members and community. Each event is designed with preschool aged children and families in mind, and includes opportunities for parents and teachers to spend some quality time getting to know each other while engaging in fun activities the whole family will enjoy.
Events are typically free and open to the public, unless specified otherwise below. Donations are encouraged, but not required, and will be used to help pay for supplies.

Garden Party

Join us for Family Fun Night on Wednesday, June 2nd and help us plant our garden beds! We have raised beds at each of our preschool locations – Maple Avenue Preschool, the YMCA Preschool at Jonathan Daniels, and the Children’s Learning Center at the Keene Family YMCA – and we could use a little help planting them so we can enjoy a wonderful harvest this summer and fall. We’ll do some digging and planting together and then enjoy a healthy veggie snack before heading out. We can’t wait to see what sprouts!
This is a free event, open to all members of our community. All supplies and tools will be provided, donations will be gratefully accepted.
Please RSVP to the Site Coordinator for the location you’ll be attending no later than Monday, May 24th.
