Barbera Cares Hosts 2011 YMCA Healthy Kids Day
Barbera Cares Program Hosts 2011 YMCA Healthy Kids Day - Northeast Family Branch YMCA
4-16-2011
Proving that play is just as important as education, children and their families had the chance to make a play date during the 2011 "Healthy Kids Day" hosted by Barbera's On The Boulevard at the Northeast Family Branch YMCA (11088 Knights Road).
"Healthy Kids Day" is a nationwide movement to get families to put play in their day and encourage kids to get moving.
The event included fun, engaging and creative activities that foster healthy living and help families become physically active, according to Dave Rothstein, of Barbera's on the Boulevard. "The goal of encouraging kids to play more is to build a lifetime of love for physical activity," said Rothstein
"Play should never be a chore."
Experts recommend that kids engage in at least an hour of physical activity per day, as studies have shown that kids who consistently engage in play are happier and healthier. Play will also help children develop and enhance motor skills, social skills, problem solving, and creativity and may give them higher self-esteem. It can also help them perform better academically. "For those reasons and many more Healthy Kids Day ay the Northeast Family Branch Y is a perfect fit for the "Barbera Cares Program" and we look forward to seeing this event grow and flourish well into the future" added Rothstein.
The "Barbera Cares Program" is a 20 plus year initiative that reaches out to, helps and supports local and community organizations, charities, efforts and events.
