SPECIAL EVENTS

WWW.FOXVALLEYYMCA.ORG2

As we approach the busy holiday season, I know many of you are gearing up for the hustle and bustle that follows. We hope that includes spending time with loved ones, enjoying your favorite holiday traditions and making special memories that will last a lifetime. I know my colleagues at the Y share my gratitude that we have been able to play a small part in another year of service to you and the community. That is a privilege and an honor that we don’t take lightly.

As we view it, our Staff and Volunteers are like Family and our Customers like guests in our home. Putting people first is what helped us grow to become the largest nonprofit charitable organization in Kendall County. It is what drives us to advance a mission and empower people rather than to amass money. We are here to connect people of all ages and strengthen communities through Healthy Living, Youth Development, and Social Responsibility providing financial assistance to those who need us most. And for that, we are all truly blessed.

This time of year is also about giving thanks. I am thankful for the Staff and Volunteers of the YMCA. Their hard work and dedication inspires me each day. And we know without you, our valued Customers, none of this would be possible. You are a reminder to us each day that we are in the business of serving you. For that, and for your continued patronage, we thank you. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Andrew Bobbitt - CEO

FOX VALLEY FAMILY YMCA EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY | 6 WEEKS - AGE 5 The YMCA Early Learning Academy provides enriching experiences that facilitate a child’s cognitive social, physical, and emotional growth. We use Creative Curriculum and Teaching Strategies Gold Assessment Tool, both are research based and designed to prepare your child for lifelong learning. These strategies focus on building a classroom community and strengthening social/emotional skills while integrating content learning in the areas of math, language and literacy, science, social studies and the arts. We strive to meet the developmental needs and temperament of each child by working in partnership with families.

Our child care and preschool, licensed by the State of Illinois, provide a curriculum focused on education, leadership, and character development. At the Y we believe that the first five years of life are the foundation for future success in school and beyond. We help children develop positive behaviors and values that stay with them throughout their life. The Early Learning Academy taps into each child’s unique strengths and interests to help develop confident learners.

Using the Creative Curriculum in both our child care and preschool gives parents the option for full day, full year care OR half day preschool. The Early Learning Academy offers the perfect balance of learning through play and intentional teaching. Using science, social studies and “first hand” experiences as a segue to learning, children develop confidence, creativity, and critical thinking skills necessary for Kindergarten. Please contact Early Learning Academy Director Dana Lowe (630) 552-4100 ext. 230 or [email protected] for more information on our Early Learning Academy’s services.

Mission: The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy. www.corestandards.org

FULL DAY CHILD CARE PROGRAM INFANT PROGRAM {6 weeks - 15 months 1:4 Ratio}In the infant classroom, our primary emphasis is meeting the infant’s daily needs and providing a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment. Children are provided experiences that foster and develop their cognitive, social/emotional, and motor skills while encouraging their independence. Infants are engaged in developmentally appropriate toys, books, stories and finger plays throughout the day. They are learning through routines and attachments to their caregivers. Infant daily nap and meal schedule are based on the infant’s individual needs.

TODDLERS {16-24 months 1:5 Ratio}In the toddler classroom, children are introduced to a more structured and regular routine. Children are provided an environment that encourages exploration and curiosity by offering child-initiated and teacher-guided activities. Toddlers have opportunities to make choices in art, sensory, exploration, problem-solving, music, books, self-help skills, and interactive play. The toddler classroom provides a rest time as part of the daily schedule.

TWOS {1:8 Ratio}In the two’s classroom, the children discover a stimulating environment arranged into various interest and learning centers. Our goal for our two year olds include: developing valuable self-help skills such as potty training, personal hygiene, dressing self and putting toys away. We also focus on building cognitive skills, such as counting, sorting, recognizing letters, colors and shapes. Another important skill we work on is interacting with others. We have many opportunities for sharing, listening and taking turns. The two’s classroom provides a rest time as part of the daily schedule.

FULL DAY OR HALF DAY PRESCHOOL PROGRAM THREES, FOURS & FIVES {1:10 Ratio}The three to five year old classrooms focus on the growth and development of the whole child: physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially. Activities and classroom centers are oriented to the child’s interest and developmental levels. Our three to five year olds are able to make choices in a variety of areas including: art and sensory activities, dramatic play, stories and books, music and movement, fine and large motor development and much more. Children continue to build their self-help skills and independence while developing their socialization skills through interactions with peers and adults.

Our program builds the foundation and prepares children for those skills needed in Kindergarten. Math, science, language areas, and pre-reading and writing are emphasized. In addition, children learn important classroom skills such as taking turns, sharing and cooperation. Children learn to develop socially acceptable behaviors and positive social relationships through cooperative play experiences.

Three year old students must be three by September 1. Pre-K students must be four by September 1 and High Fives students must be five by December 1.

EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY

LENDING LIBRARY SUPPLEMENTAL READING PROGRAM Funding from the Ted and Virginia Shaw Foundation has allowed the YMCA Early Learning Center to establish our first “Lending Library.” All children enrolled in the YMCA Early Learning Academy childcare and/or preschool will participate while in school. Children will pick a book weekly to take home and read with their parents. A literacy activity will also be provided. Research shows that children who are read to consistently by their parents often begin reading earlier than their peers. We support and use Usborne books to provide children and families with a quality reading program.

Usborne Books & More provides K-12 supplemental materials to support educators as they implement these new Common Core State Standards (CCSS). We’ve made the selection process easy with Usborne and Kane Miller titles which are aligned with the standards. As an endorsing partner of CCSS, Usborne Books & More will help schools and families choose books to help educate their children, both within the school setting and at home. Certain topics mandated by these standards include myths, stories from around the world, and informational text.

This state-led initiative is currently approved in 48 states, two territories and District of Columbia. The Standards were launched more than a year ago by state governors and state commissioners of education. The federal government was not involved in the development of these standards. Consistent standards will provide appropriate benchmarks for all students, regardless of where they live. These standards define the knowledge and skills students should have within their K-12 education careers so that they will graduate high school able to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing academic college courses and in workforce training programs.

FOX VALLEY FLYERS The Fox Valley Flyers is a competitive gymnastics team that competes in USAG meets. The Flyers also have the opportunity to qualify for YMCA Nationals which are held in a different state each year. Last year the Flyers traveled to Savannah Georgia. The Flyers Team consists of levels 3 through 8 and has approximately 40 gymnasts competing. The girls have worked hard to get through all the instructional levels to earn their way to team. Team try-outs are held each year in June as a part of our annual Summer Gymnastics Camp. All gymnasts wanting to be considered for the competition team must attend camp. For additional information please contact Gymnastics Director Karen Oelker at [email protected]. The Flyers are coached by: Karen Oelker, Amy Killey, Chloe’ Oelker, Tiffany Haag and Kathleen Lavery. Our goal as coaches is and always has been to not only make this a strong, winning team, but to teach our girls the importance of working together and supporting each other. We believe what they learn here will stay with them long after their gymnastics careers.

The Fox Valley Flyers travelled to Savannah, Georgia to compete in the YMCA Gymnastics National Competition. This competition brings in gymnasts from all over the United States, which creates some pretty fierce competition. Unlike other sports, you must earn your spot on the awards stand at the end of the competition. Well, the Fox Valley Flyers did just that. All of the members of the team who made the trip to Savannah stood on the award stand, many more than once!

In the Level 4 competition, Ingrid Magnussen scored 36.75 in the AA out of a possible 40. Lily Horsch came in with an AA score of 36.625. Delaney Talty was at 35.45, Alainna Batres 35.3, Tori Cavey 34.725, Paige Sartori 34.55, Maddy Kotler 34.125, Aleena Kallan 33.575 and Audrey Berblinger 32.2. At Level 5 there were also some pretty impressive AA scores. Kylie Eike came in 1st Place in the AA with a score of 36.125, Mikaela Morton came in a very close 2nd Place with her score of 35.925. Breanna Lee had an AA score of 35.175 and Kayla Fields was at 33.05. At Level 7, Rita Anne Hames came in 3nd Place in the AA with her score of 34.85. The long trip was definitely worth it! In 2014 The Fox Valley Flyers will travel to Tampa, Florida for YMCA Nationals. The gymnasts will be working hard all season in order to qualify for this competition. Good Luck girls!

SPRING TRIATHLON CAMP Ages 8-18 | April 21-25 | 5:30-8pm | $50M/$75NM | Central The “lifestyle” sport of triathlon which includes swimming, biking and running can be a fun and exciting way for kids to stay active. Triathlon is one of the fastest growing participatory sports in the United States with much of that growth coming from youth and junior involvement. Youth participation can jump-start a lifetime of healthy fitness and eating habits at an early age. Children of all skill levels can feel a sense of accomplishment as each individual’s strengths may be different, providing them with a positive feeling about themselves.

Two fees are listed by each class. The first fee is the discounted fee a FULL PRIVILEGE MEMBER pays and the second is the fee a NON-MEMBER pays.

PROGRAM CANCELLATION POLICY Your opinion is important to us, if there is anything we can do to improve your member experience, please let us know. Programs cancelled by the Y will result in a full credit or refund. Classes missed due to weather, holidays, illness, acts of God, or choice of participants cannot be made up, credited or refunded.

All program cancellations requested by participants must be in writing five business days before the start of the class and may result in a $10 service fee. Cancellation policy is subject to change.

If your class falls on a holiday please enjoy time with your family. These holidays include: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Halloween Evening, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Eve. The Y does not refund or prorate classes due to facility closures due to weather.

CODE OF CONDUCT In keeping with our Christian values: Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility, all members are expected to behave appropriately while using the facilities. Those who choose to act inappropriately as defined by YMCA staff may be asked to leave the building. Repeat offenses can lead to a membership suspension or revoking all privileges.

*The Fox Valley Family YMCA reserves the right to run sex and violent offender checks on any and all members and guests, which can result in denied access to the YMCA facility and programs.

GIFT CERTIFICATES Gift certificates are non-refundable. We are not responsible for lost or stolen gift certificates. Gift certificates won through other organizations are only valid for six months from date of donation.

SCHOLARSHIPS It is the policy of the Y to provide services for any adult, senior, or child who desires to participate and understands the benefits of the YMCA, regardless of ability to pay the standard membership or program fee. Those not able to pay the full fee may be awarded partial assistance based on their demonstrated ability to pay and the YMCA’s ability to fund the subsidy. Financial aid will only be provided for Fox Valley Family YMCA members. Non-members are not eligible for financial aid. Families receiving financial aid will be eligible to receive a maximum of $1,000 for every six months.

ANNUAL CAMPAIGN Walk into any of our program sites or facilities and you will see people of all ages and incomes. If a person or family is unable to pay for membership, scholarships may be provided through donations from generous businesses, foundations and individuals. The demand for scholarships and program sponsorships increases every year. More than 1,000 individuals received assistance last year. Your gifts are needed to keep the YMCA open to all. Contributions can be made with stock, cash, credit card, or through a small increase to your monthly membership bank draft.

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN In addition to annual contributions for scholarship and program support, our YMCA is actively reinvesting in facilities to meet the needs of kids, teens, families, and seniors for generations to come. Every gift, large or small, is important as we look to your YMCA’s future.

ENDOWMENT / HERITAGE CLUB The Heritage Club is an organization of people who have shown their long-term interest and support of our YMCA by either a direct contribution to the Endowment Fund, or by including the YMCA in their estate plans. It is the commitment rather than the amount that is the basic factor in qualifying as a Heritage Club member.

HERITAGE CLUB MEMBERSHIP An individual or couple is qualified for Heritage Club membership by any of the following: an outright gift to the YMCA Endowment Fund of cash, securities, property or other marketable assets; creation of a unitrust, annuity trust, gift annuity, pooled-income fund, short-term trust or other life estate program; naming the Fox Valley Family YMCA as the eventual recipient of a life insurance policy, qualified retirement plan, 401 (k), 403 (b) or IRA; naming the Fox Valley Family YMCA to receive a bequest in one’s will or expressing intent to do any one of the foregoing at such time as circumstances permit.

VOLUNTEER Donate your time! The YMCA is always looking for volunteers, especially for our special events. Youth who volunteer are less likely to engage in risky behavior, are more likely to feel connected to their communities, and tend to do better in school. Get involved today. Fill out a volunteer application at the YMCA or call for details.

RECOGNITIONS

Melissa Castilla was nominated as our Member of the Quarter for her above-and-beyond help within the Aqua Force swim program. She has helped with the swim team for the last three years and is the swim meet coordinator and the Booster Club vice president.

Melissa is a stay-at-home mom to four children, two boys and two girls. With a background in business management she says that “anyone who knows me, even a little, knows that I love planning events, which is why I plan any I can for the swim team.” As a self-described “extremely outgoing, social person” she says she loves getting to meet and interact with so many great people and she enjoys chipping in around the Y wherever she’s needed. When asked what motivates her, she said, “my kids and all the kids on Aqua Force have always been my main motivation. If I can help put a smile on their faces or make something run better for them, I’m all in. Swim team is a big part of our lives and we love being a part of the Aqua Force family. We have lived in Yorkville for nine years and love it here. We try to give back as much as we can to all those in our life.”

MELISSA CASTILLA YMCA MEMBER of the QUARTER

All three of our recipients for Volunteer of the Quarter were nominated for their efforts in our Early Learning Center. When the need for cot sheets to be made came up, all of our recipients rose to the challenge to make sheets so our Daycare children could rest comfortably every day.

Amy Smith and Dina Cooper were a mother-daughter cot sheet sewing team. They have been members for over a year and have been volunteering since Amy’s daughter started pre-school. Amy says her motivation for volunteering comes from her love of “seeing not only my daughter, but other kids learn.” She also said that she and Dina “love helping take care of the kids and also knowing that her kids will feel cared for and are taken care of is enough positive reinforcement for volunteering here.” Amy and Dina both say their favorite part about being a member of the YMCA community is the values of the mission statement and seeing them carried out to the kids. Cindy Gustafson put her sewing machine into overdrive when she heard of our need for cot sheets. Cindy says that she is motivated to volunteer because she “likes to assist wherever she can.” She cites her favorite part about being a member of the YMCA community is “the dedication to family values.” Just like her parents Nate Gustafson and Janna Stahl taught her, Cindy and her parents are instilling those same family values into her grandchildren, Nate and Janna.

ASHLEY VANDERVORT YMCA EMPLOYEE of the QUARTER

Ashley has worked at the YMCA since she was a freshman in high school, but her journey here started in gymnastics where she took tumbling classes. Since then, she has worked in various departments at the YMCA, including Kids Zone, S.A.F.E., Youth Sports and Day Camp. Currently Ashley works at the Front Desk and is a Membership Service Specialist.

Ashley has been able to grow up at the Y and considers many of her co-workers to be like family and is lucky to say that she honestly is excited to go into work each day. Her favorite part of her job is being able to build relationships with the members. She loves hearing about their day, their grandkids, or trips they have taken. She also loves talking to all the kids after their practices when they come and get cookies from her.

Aside from her Y Family, she has a fiancé Marvin and a son Jax, who recently turned one. In her free time she enjoys shopping, working out and reading books with her son. Her favorite quote is “Live the life you love, love the life you live” and it really seems that she is doing exactly that!

Page 34: Fox Valley Family YMCA - Winter/Spring 2014

As a charitable organization, the YMCA turns no one away for their inability to pay. Our scholarship program makes YMCA membership and programs available to qualifying households at an income-based rate scale.

We work with people... no matter their age, income, or background....and give them the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. All with one simple goal in mind: to strengthen our community. So, while you might think of the Y as that place for lifting weights...we’re also about lifting entire communities.

GIVE, JOIN, VOLUNTEER, AND DO SO MUCH MORE.

WE’RE MORETHAN A GYM.WE’RE A CAUSE.
