The Newman YMCA KIDSWORLD has enhanced our “Immerse in the Story” library thanks to a generous grant from Comcast.

Through our Immerse in the Story initiative, preschoolers in our Kids World Licensed child care and preschoolers in our community at large explore literature by first reading or listening to a story and then by experiencing the story in a new way. This may mean representing the story by creating a piece of art, by seeing a live characters from the story, by watching a play or by dressing up and dramatizing the story. We collaborate with community agencies and organizations to present these opportunities to the children. The Newman YMCA maintains a policy of turning no one away from basic services for lack of ability to pay. For these families, we maintain a program of financial aid, helping them to bridge the gap so that their child can benefit from services
