Ridley YMCA in Secane, Pennsylvania: Great Kids' Classes at Reasonable Prices!

We've participated in a number of kids classes with our daughter at the Ridley Township, PA YMCA. The Ridley YMCA is located at: 900 South Avenue, Secane, PA 19018. Their website is: http://cyedc.org/

We chose for our daughter to join the YMCA at their program level. This means that a child can participate in programs/classes for a fee. We paid $35 dollars for her to get this membership and it was well worth it! In addition to purchasing the program membership, you also have to pay a fee for classes. Classes run from about $15 to $60 in price, depending on the level and duration of the class. They offer baby music classes, toddler gym classes, cooking classes, art classes, toddler sports through elementary level sports and dance classes too!

Our daughter and I took a parent/child gym class and we both loved it. It was great for her as a toddler to develop her large motor skills climbing through obstacle courses. It built her confidence since I participated with her and gave us some nice bonding time. It also introduced her to the concept of listening to a teacher and meeting other kids.

My husband and daughter took a swimming class. The class was the first in the series to introduce babies and toddlers to the pool. The teacher was kind and made sure each of the kids had fun. After my daughter completed that course, she went on to take independent swim lessons.

What we like best about Ridley YMCA is the dedicated staff. Many of the teachers are younger in age and have tons of energy to work with the children. They are professional, friendly and know how to deal with all type of children.

The facilities at the YMCA are setup nicely for the children's classes. The pool has a nice viewing area for parents to watch their children's swim lessons. The gyms have benches for parents to sit and wait while children complete independent classes. They even have an area for art classes and cooking classes for children.

The registration process for classes is also super easy at Ridley YMCA. You can register 100% online using your credit card, which makes it a painless process for busy parents.

The Ridley YMCA also offers a traditional gym membership for adults. I've seen many parents take their children to class and workout while the class is being held. They even offer a summer camp program for children and the offerings are wide. They have every sport and activity you can think of, so it would appeal to a wide range of children. The summer camp starts at the Kindergarten age level and is held in local elementary schools.

If you are looking to have your child take a sport or a class, consider the Ridley YMCA. We have found it to be clean and an excellent value. We look forward to our daughter taking even more classes there!
