EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY

WHY CHOOSE LLEY THE FOX VA CA M Y Y FAMIL ING N R A LE LY EAR ?

Y ACADEM

Teaching Strategies Gold Assessment System is utilized in all classrooms and aligns to the Common Core State Standards.

Our research-based curriculum prepares children for Kindergarten and a lifelong love of learning.

We have a working relationship with both the Plano and Yorkville School Districts in an effort to streamline Kindergarten Readiness Goals for ALL children in the communities we serve.

As Kendall County's largest charity, our non-profit status allows us to keep program costs down without sacrificing quality.

FOX VALLEY FAMILY YMCA EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY | CENTRAL SIX WEEKS TO AGE FIVE The YMCA Early Learning Academy provides enriching experiences that facilitate a child’s cognitive social, physical, and emotional growth. We use Creative Curriculum and Teaching Strategies Gold Assessment Tool, both are research based and designed to prepare your child for lifelong learning. These strategies focus on building a classroom community and strengthening social/ emotional skills while integrating content learning in the areas of math, language and literacy, science, social studies and the arts.

We strive to meet the developmental needs and temperament of each child by working in partnership with families.

Our child care and preschool, licensed by the State of Illinois, provide a curriculum focused on education, leadership, and character development. At the Y we believe that the first five years of life are the foundation for future success in school and beyond.

We help children develop positive behaviors and values that stay with them throughout their life. The Early Learning Academy taps into each child’s unique strengths and interests to help develop confident learners.

Using the Creative Curriculum in both our child care and preschool gives parents the option for full day, full year care OR half day preschool. The Early Learning Academy offers the perfect balance of learning through play and intentional teaching. Using science, social studies and “first hand” experiences as a segue to learning, children develop confidence, creativity, and critical thinking skills necessary for Kindergarten.

EARLY LEARNING ACADEMY FULL DAY / FULL YEAR 0-3 YEARS PROGRAM

FULL DAY OR HALF DAY PRESCHOOL 3-5 YEARS PROGRAM

In the infant classroom, our primary emphasis is meeting the infant’s daily needs and providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. Children are provided experiences that foster and develop their cognitive, social/emotional, and motor skills while encouraging their independence.

Infants are engaged in developmentally appropriate toys, books, stories and finger plays throughout the day. They are learning through routines and attachments to their caregivers.

Infant daily nap and meal schedule are based on the infant’s individual needs.

The three to five year old classrooms focus on the growth and development of the whole child: physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially. Activities and classroom centers are oriented to the child’s interest and developmental levels. Our three to five year olds are able to make choices in a variety of areas including: art and sensory activities, dramatic play, stories and books, music and movement, fine and large motor development and much more.

INFANT PROGRAM {6 weeks - 15 months 1:4 Ratio}

TODDLERS {16-24 months 1:5 Ratio} In the toddler classroom, children are introduced to a more structured and regular routine. Children are provided an environment that encourages exploration and curiosity through child-initiated and teacher-guided activities.

Toddlers have opportunities to make choices in art, sensory, exploration, problem-solving, music, books, self-help skills, and interactive play. The toddler classroom provides a rest time as part of the daily schedule.

TWOS {1:8 Ratio} In the two’s classroom, the children discover a stimulating environment arranged into various interest and learning centers. Our goal for our two year olds include: developing valuable self-help skills such as potty training, personal hygiene, dressing self and putting toys away. We also focus on building cognitive skills, such as counting, sorting, recognizing letters, colors and shapes. Another important skill we work on is interacting with others. We have many opportunities for sharing, listening and taking turns. The two’s classroom provides a rest time as part of the daily schedule.

THREES, FOURS & FIVES {1:10 Ratio}

Our program builds the foundation and prepares children for those skills needed in Kindergarten. Math, science, language areas, and pre-reading and writing are emphasized.

In addition, children learn important classroom skills such as taking turns, sharing and cooperation as well as learning to develop socially acceptable behaviors and positive social relationships through cooperative play.

Explorers must be three years old by September 1.

Investigators must be four years old by September 1.

Discoverers must be five years old by December 1.

GYMNASTICS FOX VALLEY FLYERS

The Fox Valley Flyers is a competitive gymnastics team that competes in YMCA and USAG meets. The Flyers have the opportunity to qualify for YMCA Nationals each year. Last year the Flyers traveled to Tampa, Florida to compete in the YMCA National Gymnastics Competition and this summer the competition will be held in Wichita, Kansas. The Flyers Team consists of levels three through eight and has approximately 40 gymnasts competing. Team try-outs are held each year in June as a part of our annual Summer Gymnastics Camp. All gymnasts that would like to be considered for the competition team must attend camp to be evaluated by the entire team coaching staff (see our Camp section on page 26 for Gymnastics Camp information). For additional information please contact Gymnastics Director Karen Oelker at koelker@foxvalleyymca.org.

The Flyers are coached by: Karen Oelker, Chloé Oelker, Tiffany Haag, and Kathleen Lavery, Dani Iorfida, Brook Stuepfort, and Amy Killey. Our goal as coaches is to not only make this a strong, winning team, but to teach our girls the importance of working together and supporting each other. We believe what they learn here will stay with them long after their gymnastics careers.

RITA ANNE HAMES FOX VALLEY FLYERS SENIOR Rita has been involved in YMCA Gymnastics for the past 14 years. She says that gymnastics has taught her to be disciplined, committed, shown her how to be a leader, and what it takes to work hard. Her experience with the Flyers has meant a lot to her and she says, "I have made many good friends throughout my gymnastics career. As my career comes to a close, I am grateful to have had this experience and for all the assistance I have received from my coaches and parents. I am going to miss it very much!"

It has been hard work, but with the support of my coaches and teammates, I feel that as long as I put in the work and effort, I can accomplish just about anything. I am stronger, brighter, and more perseverant because of the Flyers!
