Unfortunately at age six kids are phased into the 6-12 year old room which is the exact opposite. Today my daughter got there abd espn was on the tvs and there wasn't a toy or game un site. She was expected to stay in there with older boys (who were playing basketball in the adjoining gym) and the male staff members rather than be allowed to stay and play with her sisters all because she turned 6 in September.

This petition is calling for an age appropriate child area for those children who have phased out of the 0-5 room. There should be toys, books, and a cozy corner where kids can play with legos or babies and paper and crayons for making creations. A female counselor is a must with little girls too!

Please sign if you'd like to see the ymca make some changes for our children!

Thank you!
