Playing for Success at the North Lawndale YMCA
Early Learning & Education: Growing Strong Roots
The North Lawndale Y is committed to empowering our next generations while fostering opportunities to explore and grow. We strive to ensure that every child, age 6 weeks to 5 years old, builds social and emotional skills that last a lifetime while finding opportunities to explore and grow in a nurturing, supportive environment.
School Age: Open for Play!
At the North Lawndale Y, we believe that when you create space for youth, ages 5 to 12 years old, to show up with an open mind and play, you open them up to growth, discovery, and life-changing friendships. Our Summer Camp and Before and After School Care programs offer an extension of school that’s as fun and unique as your kid!
