Infant/Toddler ProgramsThe more we learn about care in the first year of life, the more we realize how important it is that infants experience nurturing care and a gentle touch. Our experienced staff is dedicated to meeting the needs of your child in a safe, nurturing & learning environment. Our program recognizes the importance of early stages of development with special emphasis on social, emotional and physical growth.
Early Child Development
At the YMCA we view youth as assets to our community – with strengths, leadership and skills. All young people, regardless of ethnicity, gender, economic, geographic or religious background, face choices that can positively or negatively influence their futures. Through programs that give youth opportunities to gain leadership skills, core values and an ethic of service, the YMCA helps young people make wise and healthy choices. Under the guidance of caring adults, youth learn fair play and positive communication and develop a spirit of cooperation – all skills that are needed to succeed. At the YMCA Early Child Development Programs, children embark on a voyage of learning. We utilize creative, research-based curriculums that include an appreciation for language and literature, listening, speaking, reading, and writing by using a variety of strategies. Children focus on values and lessons that include interaction with others and problem solving skills.
