Designed for preschool and kindergarten-aged children, the Y’s Pint-Size Pupils Program will help your young learner develop to his or her fullest potential. Through a variety of fun activities that include both structured and open play, our dedicated staff teach, model and reinforce the Y’s Christian character values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.
Projects and lessons will explore colors, shapes, alphabet and numbers. Classes are small in size and incorporate bright colors, music and interactive games to help our youngest members develop their socialization skills and academic concepts.
Our Pint-Size Pupils Program follows the Plainfield District 202 holiday calendar.

A CELEBRATION OF COMMUNITY COLLABORATION
The Greater Joliet Area YMCA is excited to announce a Winter Swim Lesson Sale!
The Greater Joliet Area YMCA is excited to offer new NFL FLAG Football Leagues this spring. NFL FLAG is the largest flag football league in the U.S., and the only league where players can wear official NFL gear. Kids of all ages and skill levels will participate in a safe, non-contact environment, allowing boys and girls the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of football. In this program everyone plays, and everyone has fun!
Each year, the Greater Joliet Area YMCA’s Teen Achievers program helps students broaden their understanding of possible options for their post-secondary education by organizing tours to colleges and universities throughout the Midwest. These events guide students as they set and achieve high educational, professional, and personal goals, serving as a stepping stone for them to discover their identities, embrace their passions, and become their best selves.
