LETTERS FROM LARRY
ABOUT THE Y
WE WORK FOR YOU!
YMCA Members,
I hope this letter finds everyone doing well and that you all had a wonderful summer season. We are very busy at
the YMCA, not only with building the new facility, but also with expanding our program services and membership
opportunities out into the community. As we continue to evolve, it is important for us to get out into the community
with our programs and services as well as look for ways to collaborate with other community organizations.
As for the expansion project, we are moving forward and we are on schedule even with all of the rain in June. As you
know, in April 2015, the Ligonier Valley YMCA broke ground for the construction of a 32,000 square-foot facility that
will include a new and expanded fitness center, improvements to the existing YMCA facility including the complete
renovation of the current gymnasium, renovated and expanded group exercise space, two therapy pools, new
changing rooms, new welcome center desk and gallery hallway. We will also have an additional benefit of Excela
Health medical facilities including physician offices, physical therapy, and space for blood work/imaging services. By
May 2016, the YMCA will open the doors to its new building. For us, it is much more than the bricks and mortar, it is
the increased impact that we can have on the people in the communities that we serve — making us
stronger...together.

PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION
EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION by EARLY CHILDHOOD PROFESSIONALS
Our program employs degreed professionals with extensive training and
education specifically geared toward child development from birth through
age 8 (along with CPR/First Aid certifications). Our dedicated educators use Keystone
STARS standards to focus on more than literacy, writing, and the sciences. Our
program also fosters family/community connections and active learning experiences.
We combine a curriculum aligned with the Pennsylvania Early Learning Standards and a
safe, stimulating environment to create meaningful experiences for your child each day
that span from character development, to sports and exercise; from social/emotional
growth, to age-appropriate technology and beyond.
CREATING LIFE-LONG LEARNERS
As a Keystone STARS facility, we design programs that help your child develop
critical-thinking skills and intellectual curiosity – characteristics that promote
successful learning in the kindergarten classroom and beyond. We strive to nurture
growth in multiple aspects, and provide the tools to help each and every child achieve
success in all dimensions of life.
 Everyday Math and Guided Reading curriculums
 Swim instruction
 Active schedule that includes outdoor play, music and
movement, XRKade interactive fitness, and more
 Thematic, “hands-on” approach to learning

Reasons to choose the Y CHILD DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAMS
1. We care about our children and their families.
We know that communication & collaboration between families,
educators, and children builds the foundation of successful
programming.
2. We promote the development of the whole child. Our staff
constructs goals & objectives based upon research of developmentally-
appropriate practice along with the development of new skills in multiple
program areas — for a healthy spirit, mind, and body.
3. We build kids of character.
Character Development remains a fundamental component of the YMCA
mission. Each day, we challenge our staff & participants to accept and
demonstrate the core values of honesty, caring, responsibility, &
respect. We encourage development of leadership skills, appreciation of
diversity, and acts of kindness.
4. Our children grow within a YMCA family.
The YMCA provides a variety of unique recreational and interpersonal
experiences. The children learn to swim, share a center-wide
Thanksgiving feast, and sing songs for our senior members — exciting
opportunities to learn and explore a range of interests with friends of all
ages!
5. We offer reasonable rates.
We charge approximately $3-$5 per hour*, depending on your choice of
program. Your child receives a wonderful learning experience…for less
than the cost of a babysitter.
