EARLY LEARNING CENTER

Our Early Learning Center helps children meet their learning and developmental potential while providing the care needed for families to work. We provide high-quality early education and care to children 15 months until they start kindergarten. Our teachers create and implement a curriculum designed to make your child feel comfortable while learning, socializing, and having fun. One of their goals is to help your child feel independent and empowered to explore their environment and engage in gross motor and language activities. Children can learn through hands-on and sensory experiences, creative expression, and the acquisition of self-help skills. Our curriculum addresses each child’s individual developmental needs and interests and emphasizes the YMCA character values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. It also includes a focus on SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) to help the children learn to identify and manage their feelings and solve social problems. Beginning at three years of age, parents have the option of enrolling your children in YMCA classes such as swimming, sports, and gymnastics.
