Healthy Kids Day at the West Suburban YMCA

The West Suburban YMCA will hold Healthy Kids Day, a free community event, on Saturday May 11 from 2-4 pm. Healthy Kids Day will be held at the Church St Y at 276 Church St, Newton, MA. This annual event is part of the Y’s nationwide initiative to improve the health and well-being of children and families. The Y aims to inspire kids to stay active, engaged, and learn while away from school, establishing healthy habits that can last a lifetime.

Healthy Kids Day 2024 will offer a variety of fun and educational activities designed to keep children moving, exploring, and developing essential skills. The event will feature sports, a kid’s DJ, obstacle course, arts and crafts, projects, snacks, and much more. Families attending the event will have the opportunity to connect with local community organizations and resources that support children’s out-of-school learning and growth. Research indicates that children can face numerous obstacles during out-of-school time that hinder their academic, social, and physical development. Healthy Kids Day serves as a reminder that all children deserve the tools and opportunities to achieve their full potential, even when school is not in session.

Healthy Kids Day 2024 at the Church Street Y is a free event open to the public, and all families in the Newton area are encouraged to attend.
