“At the Indian Valley Family YMCA we know that parents struggle to find the time to incorporate more active play and healthier habits into their kids’ daily routine,” says, John L. Reilly, District Executive Director. “Doing so doesn’t have to require extra money or resources. It’s as simple as making a play date with your kids, with two key requirements – be active and have fun!”
