Early Care and Education Programs

Fostering spirit, mind and body

The YMCA’s Early Care and Education Program provides a safe and nurturing environment for our youngest members to play, learn and grow. Our well-trained educators provide infants and toddlers with the consistent, positive attention they need so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Early Care for Infants and Toddlers


Ages 6 weeks -2 years

Our experienced staff is knowledgeable about key developmental stages and keenly aware that each child reaches these stages differently. Using the Creative Curriculum, we help to guide each child’s growth on an individual basis. As they build new skills and learn how to interact with others, we enjoy watching them develop their own sense of identity and self-esteem.

We believe that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. Like all Y programs, our Early Care and School Age Programs are open to all. The YMCA accepts CCIS payments, and financial assistance is available to those who qualify.
