Reading to Bryce takes place the 3rd Wednesday of the month and participants sign up for a 15 minute slot (5:45, 6:00, 6:15, 6:30).
Participants read a book of their choice (either from home or here) to Bryce, who lays down and listens without criticism. This program is extremely helpful to those who struggle with reading and participants love reading to Bryce and cannot wait until the next time slot is available.

“Young Scientists” STEM Program
The “Young Scientists” STEM Program is a six week program offered for children ages 3-6. Along with a parent/caregiver, children will learn STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) concepts through hands-on activities, story time, challenges and simple experiments.
“Young Scientists” is sponsored by the YMCA Family & Community Partnership (YFCP), a Massachusetts Coordinated Family and Community Engagement (CFCE) Grant program funded by the Department of Early Education & Care and awarded to the YMCA of Central Massachusetts.
Summer Reading is offered every summer and typically runs for July through August for 6 weeks. Programming is on Wednesdays and is reserved for children grades K- 5. Children who are signed up for storytime are invited to the Wednesday program if age appropriate. Children can choose to participate in the reading aspect of the program without attending the events or vice versa.
