We believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for life. Because of the Y, more young people in neighborhoods around the Capital District are taking a greater interest in learning and making smarter life choices. At the Y, children, and teens learn values and positive behaviors and can explore their unique talents and interests, helping them realize their potential. That makes for confident kids today and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.

EARLY LEARNING
We believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for quality of life. Because of the Y community, children are being given more opportunities in learning and making smarter life choices. At the CDYMCA, children learn their ABCs, how to share, learn sportsmanship, and, most importantly, learn how to be themselves. That makes for confident children today and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.
