👋 Meet Kaitlyn, our Child Care Director!

Kaitlyn brings a strong background in classroom leadership, licensing compliance, and staff training and support. She's certified in Infant & Child CPR/AED, trained in infant and toddler care, SIDS prevention, and child safety, and is currently pursuing her administrator credential.

As a member of the Wautoma-area community, Kaitlyn is passionate about helping little ones learn, grow, and thrive while building strong relationships with local families!

"I am incredibly excited and honored to be joining the YMCA as the Childcare Director. This is a very special opportunity because we are building this program from the ground up, with our local children, families, and community at the heart of everything we do. Our goal is to create a childcare environment where children feel safe, loved, supported, and excited to learn and grow each day. We want our program to be a place where families feel welcomed, teachers feel valued and supported, and children are given opportunities to explore, play, discover, and build confidence.

As we prepare to open, I am looking forward to getting to know the families in our community and learning what you are looking for in a childcare program. Your thoughts, questions, and ideas are important to us as we build something that truly serves Waushara County.

There is a lot of exciting work ahead, and I cannot wait to share this journey with all of you! We are building more than a childcare center. We are building a community. Stay tuned for updates, opportunities to connect, and more information about our upcoming program!"

🌊 Meet Sara, our Aquatics Director! 🛟

We’re excited to welcome Sara to the YMCA team and have her leading our aquatics program!

With experience as a Lifeguard Management Certified professional, CPR/AED and First Aid certified lifeguard, and former EMT-Intermediate, Sara brings a strong background in water safety, emergency response and team leadership.

She’s also a longtime Waushara County community member who loves water, fitness, and bringing people together. ❤️

From training and supporting staff to maintaining high safety standards, Sara is helping build an aquatics program that is all about safety, fun, and community.

"Hi everyone! I am so excited to dive into the role of your Aquatics Director at the Waushara Community YMCA! For me, this role isn't just about managing a pool…it’s about serving our local community and creating a safe, welcoming, and positive space where families, friends, and neighbors can gather, grow, and connect. I want to ensure our aquatics programs truly reflect and support the needs of everyone in our community. Whether you are here to learn a lifesaving skill, stay active, or just enjoy the water, please stop by the pool deck and say hello!

I have had a passion for water and swimming since I was very young and have remained passionate about it throughout life. In my free time, you can usually find me out for a run, paddle boarding and open water swimming around our beautiful local lakes, and mostly hanging out with my husband and children on our local hobby farm. I look forward to serving you all!"

The future Waushara Community YMCA is coming to life! 💙

Every week brings more progress, and it's exciting to see this vision becoming a reality. Construction remains on schedule, with completion expected at the end of September and doors planned to open this October!

More than just a building, this YMCA will be a place where children learn and grow, families connect, neighbors build friendships, and people of all ages can stay active and healthy. It will also help meet one of the community's greatest needs by expanding access to quality child care.

We can't wait to welcome the Waushara community through these doors and create a place where everyone belongs for generations to come.
