Kent County YMCA

New Rangers Half Day Camp is almost here! Spots are filling fast, secure your child’s summer adventure today! Camp starts June 22nd ☀️

Early learning is part of the Greater Providence YMCA’s work to help children and families thrive.

At our early learning centers, children build confidence, curiosity, and a love of discovery through art, sensory play, hands-on exploration, and caring relationships with teachers.

GPYMCA early learning programs are offered at South County YMCA, Newman YMCA, and Mt. Hope Child Care Center in Providence.

At the YMCA, everyone is welcome - and everyone belongs. This Pride Month, we celebrate our LGBTQ+ members, staff, and neighbors who make our community stronger, kinder, and more connected. 🏳️‍🌈

Mental health is for everyone.

Mental well-being is shaped by more than what’s happening in our minds.

It’s influenced by external factors too, like access to food, stable housing, a sense of belonging, and strong community connections.

At the YMCA, we believe mental health belongs to everyone, and
Everyone deserves support.

Need support? Call or text the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline or visit 988lifeline.org.

At the Y, connection is just as important as the workout.

Here’s to coffee chats, lunch bunches, and friendships that keep us
strong, in body and in spirit.

Want to connect? Stop by - we’ll save you a seat!

Water Smart Rule # 5: Don’t Hold Your Breath (literally)

Breath-holding contests? Yeah, let’s not. They might seem like harmless fun, but breath-holding games in the water can be seriously dangerous, even for strong swimmers.

Holding your breath too long can lead to shallow water blackout, a silent and sudden emergency that can happen without warning.

At the Y, we teach that water safety isn’t just about swimming, it’s about smart choices.

So, skip the contests, and keep the fun safe for everyone.
