Schenectady, NY – April 15, 2012 – Parents and guardians who love theatre – but cannot attend events as often as they might like because of babysitting issues – can avail themselves of a new program that offers a convenient, affordable, safe solution: YMCA Parents Time Out is an innovative program made possible by Proctors and the Schenectady branch of the Capital District YMCA.
“This is something that our patrons have asked for,” said Proctors CEO Philip Morris. “Because of the innate sensitivities and security issues, we have moved with deliberation before adopting a program. Our positive relationship with the Schenectady YMCA made the launch of this program feasible. For Proctors, the program is another example of the community spirit and teamwork that are the hallmarks of a new, revitalized and forward-thinking Downtown Schenectady.”
Kevin Kuon, Director of Youth & Teen programs at the Schenectady Y concurs with Morris: “Keeping kids actively engaged in a safe environment is key to our mission at the Y, as is strengthening our community through partnerships with others. We’re delighted to partner with Proctors.”
Through YMCA Parents Time Out, parents can sign up for child care at the new Downtown Y while they attend a performance at Proctors State Street complex. When purchasing tickets, patrons have the option, for an additional fee per child, to complete appropriate paperwork and sign up for the program. Then before the show, participants in the YMCA Parents Time Out program may drop off children registered in the program at the Y located just cross the street from Proctors.
YMCA Parents Time Out participants enjoy peace of mind knowing their children are busy playing games, watching movies, and having a ball.
YMCA care providers are NYS certified professionals with age appropriate training in CPR and First Aid.
Now the whole family gets to enjoy nights out at Proctors.
