YMCA of Coastal Georgia branches are still accepting registration for afterschool programs. With a focus on saftey, health, social growth, and academic enhancement, Y afterschool programs serve elementary school age children with a variety of programatic and activity options to explore and develop their interests and talents. Our state licensed programs are staffed with pepole who understand the cognitive, physical, and social development of kids, and the need children have to feel connected. Financial Assistance is Available.

For most new moms, and mothers who suddenly realize their children need more physical activity, it's nice to have fresh  ideas on ways to get the kids moving.

At yesterday's YMCA Kiddie Run, dozens of children in their free YMCA t-shirts took to the street in a sprint of friendly competition.

From babes in the arms of athletic parents, to pre-teens at the head of the pack, the children experienced not only the heart-strengthening rush of a good run, but also comraderie and positive association with exercise.
