Welcome to the Tri-City YMCA Youth Development Center in Granite City, IL!
The Tri-City Y is dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing environment where you child can learn, grow and thrive. We believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for life. With so many demands on today's families and the increased focus on early brain development, families need all the support they can get to nurture the potential of youth. That's why Early Childhood Education and Summer Day Camp at the Y focus on holistically nurturing child development by providing a safe and healthy place to learn foundational skills, develop healthy, trusting relationships and build self-reliance through the Y values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
