The goal of the YMCA Ayrlawn Program Center is to help each child develop to his/her fullest potential by providing a safe, supportive, challenging, and caring environment that allows each child the opportunity to learn through friends, exploration, choice, socialization, and creative play.

The YMCA utilizes the creative curriculum for our preschoolers and the school-age framework curriculum for our school age child care program.  Character Development, a national movement among YMCAs, is an integral part of our curriculum as well.

ROYAL ACADEMY OF DANCE

This program is selective and is suitable for those who are interested in long-term training. Students are accepted by teacher recommendation. Students in this program train for the annual Royal Academy of Dance (England) exams. Regular attendance, promptness, and grooming are stressed.

YMCA PHD PROGRAM

With health and obesity a major issue in our community, and gaining national attention, the YMCA of Metropolitan Washington is pleased to offer of the YMCA "PHD" Program -- Physical, Healthy, and Driven program especially designed for children, ages 6-13 years old. The goal of this program is to encourage kids to become more physically active and motivated while increasing their overall health: mind, spirit, and body. Studies have shown that children who are active perform better in school.

 

For three days a week, children have the opportunity to engage in moderate to vigorous activities and exercise for 30-45 minutes a day. As part of the program, each child receives a health and fitness analysis. The entire family gets involved as well when participants take home information on healthy nutrition and fun ways to get the family actively involved in activities together. If you have any questions, please contact your local YMCA branch.
