At Ridley Area Ymca Kindergarten, we are committed to character! We strive to provide the best programs and services possible.
We believe Character Development is an important aspect of what we do.
The YMCA Character Development is a challenge for all of us - staff, volunteers, members, participants, and parents - to accept and demonstrate positive values.
These values are caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. YMCAs work to strengthen families and to develop values and behavior that are consistent with Christian principles.
Our programs and activities are for people of all faiths, races, abilities, ages and incomes.
No one is turned away, regardless of his or her ability to pay.
The YMCA's strength is in the people it brings together.
The Community YMCA of Eastern Delaware County is a charitable association founded on Christian principles, dedicated to building a healthy spirit, mind and body.
We are committed to being a positive part of family life by promoting the values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
