Parents,
We have been made aware that the main YMCA will be closing for sometime due to issues with their facility because of the wind. Our facility is however doing fine and we are remaining open. Everyone is safe and remaining inside.
Thank you!

Wapakoneta Family Y message;
YMCA CLOSED!! The entire YMCA facility is closed. Due to the high winds, there is extensive damage to our facility and out of an abundance of caution we need the entire CAMPUS to be closed. This does not affect the CDC.

June has been "Under The Sea" theme, so today we had "Dress Like a Shark Day!" We had lots of cute little sharks at the Child Development Center!

Even though the game didn't quite go as we'd hoped, but the students at the Child Development Center were cheering loud enough to be heard in Akron.
