Cary Family YMCA will be offering Early Arrivals at Carpenter Elementary School. The program provides opportunites for brain warm up (chess tournaments, trivia games), relaxing (card games,coloring), or stress relief (gym games such as spider ball or knockout) depending on your child's needs. Carpenter Early Arrivals is a great way to start your child's day.

Early Arrivals is an entertaining and structured morning program. We provide a fun, loving staff to play and encourage your children. Early Arrivals activities are held for the most part in the multi-purpose room. We have a cart filled with a variety of games and challenges for your children such as cards, board games, puzzles, and crafts. We also offer each age group (K-2 and 3-5) a choice of activities outside or in the gym. Every morning we assemble the children back in the multi-purpose room for dismissal. We may sing a song, play a group game, or trivia while waiting for the bell. Your child will be dismissed with the bell at 8:45a.m.
