Early Learning at the YMCA

The Y’s early learning childcare facilities are staffed with people who understand the cognitive, physical and social development of kids, the support parents and families need and the importance of maintaining a safe, clean environment for children to learn and thrive. At the Y, infants develop trust, security and experience early literacy through our curriculum.

Following state and local safety guidelines, our facilities offer quality early learning opportunities and child care for infants through 6 years old, enabling parents and family members to go to work knowing their children are in safe, stimulating environments.

The YMCA offers Abeka as our Childcare Curriculum at all of our branch locations. Every subject is approached from a Christian perspective, and you’ll find Scripture and biblical principles used to emphasize or illustrate concepts. Our philosophy doesn’t come from what sounds good or from what other people are doing right now. Instead, our teacher-led, character-building philosophy comes from a biblical foundation.
