Children and Families

The YMCA of Kitchener-Waterloo provides a variety of children's and family programming as we work to Build Strong Kids, Strong Families and Strong Communities!

At the YMCA, we know and understand that all children are individuals and families have different needs and interests.  We are committed to building a supportive network as we work together with families to provide children with positive and happy childhood years.
