Our young children matter and the valley needs childcare. I am so very proud that our families now have the opportunity to send their children to a place that stresses a healthy lifestyle through curriculum based, regular physical education programs inclusive at the YMCA. The numerous benefits of mindfulness programming and outdoor activities such as gardening provides life stage skills to our families,” said Dana Lasher, CEO Gallatin Valley YMCA.

Our new learning center will focus on promoting healthy minds, healthy bodies, and a healthy planet. We are looking forward to announcing additional initiatives in the near future," said Mike Collins, VP of Operations. Pre-kindergarten is a time for children to explore their interests, make new friends, and learn new things. It is time to be joyful and curious and to let their imaginations run wild. This is the time to build the foundation for a life-long healthy community.
