Three Healthy Tips in Celebration of National Child Health Day

Published: October 7, 2024

October 7 is National Child Health Day, and the Y remains committed to supporting the physical, mental, social and intellectual health of your child year-round! From youth sports to after-school programming, the Cumberland Cape Atlantic is dedicated to you and your family.

Get Moving with Youth Sports

Engaging in regular physical activity is crucial for your child's development. The Cumberland Cape Atlantic YMCA offers a variety of youth sports programs designed to keep kids active and foster a love for physical fitness. Whether it's soccer, basketball, t-ball, or swimming, there's something for every child to enjoy. Participation in sports not only improves physical health but also teaches important life skills such as teamwork, discipline and perseverance.

 

Support Mental and Social Well-Being with Before & After School Programs 

The Y's before & after school programs provide a safe and supportive environment where children can develop socially and emotionally. These programs offer a blend of academic support, recreational activities and social interaction, helping children build friendships and enhance their mental well-being. By participating in before & after school programs, your child can explore new interests, gain confidence, and develop a sense of belonging.

 

Encourage Intellectual Growth with Enrichment Activities

At the Y, we believe in nurturing the intellectual health of children through diverse enrichment activities. Our programs include homework help, STEM projects, arts and crafts and more. These activities stimulate curiosity, foster creativity and enhance problem-solving skills. Encouraging your child to engage in intellectual pursuits helps them build a solid foundation for lifelong learning and success.

 

Celebrate National Child Health Day with the Y and take advantage of the many programs and activities we have to offer. Together, we can ensure your child's holistic development and well-being. Visit www.ccaymca.org for more info!
