YMCA to Host 'Pottstown Celebrates Young Children'

The 7th-Annual Pottstown Celebrates Young Children event has been scheduled for April 13 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Pottstown YMCA on Adams Street.

Sponsored by the Pottstown Early Action for Kindergarten Readiness (PEAK), the event targets families with young children in the hopes of raising awareness for early education and kindergarten readiness.

This year's event – which is free to the public – will feature a petting farm, moon bounce, Smokey the Bear and Pipper the Clown. Additionally, more than 30 community organizations will provide their own activities for families and guests.

PEAK has also partnered with Pottstown Memorial Medical Center for the celebration, which seeks to increase awareness to the services the hospital provides to the community.

“We are very thankful for the partnership with Pottstown Memorial Medical Center," said Mary Rieck, a PEAK coordinator. "Pottstown Celebrates Young Children is great way to raise awareness for early education and services of the hospital, as well as an enjoyable afternoon for the whole family. We look forward to finding new ways to work with the hospital to help Pottstown’s children enter kindergarten ready to learn and achieve.”
