Since welcoming our first child in May, the Kid Zone at the YMCA has truly been one of the biggest blessings in our lives.

Fitness has always been important to us, and we knew getting back into the gym after baby Denton’s arrival was a priority. But as first-time parents without family nearby, the idea of leaving our little one with strangers felt overwhelming.

From day one, the Kids Zone staff eased every concern. At just 11 weeks old, Denton began his time in Kid Zone, and we haven’t looked back since. The staff’s warmth and attentiveness shine through whether holding Denton, playing nearby or keeping him smiling, they always make sure he’s safe and loved.

One of our favorite things is being able to watch Denton on the upstairs screen during our workouts. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he’s cared for so well. Because of the Kid Zone team, we’ve been able to focus on both physical and mental health postpartum, and that has been a true gift.
