Our program provides quality care in a safe and supportive environment, which fosters the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social growth of children while supporting and strengthening families. We offer free secure access to live streaming video webcam so you can observe your child while in our care and stay connected with your family.

The daily schedules and learning centers are organized to create an environment which allows children to learn and discover. In our infant room YMCA staff work with each child at his/her level of development and individual schedule.The various activities our staff does with your child help develop hand eye coordination, promotes social and emotional development as well as language, motor and sensory development. During the toddler stage, a child learns a great deal about social roles, develops motor skills, and first starts to actively use language to express themselves. At the YMCA we provide an accepting environment that allows children to grow and experience each one of these stages. We use Creative Curriculum in our preschool classrooms which is a research-based curriculum aligned with early learning standards and the common core.

There are four nutritious meals provided each day which is monitored by a registered dietitian. DSS accepted, financial assistance available.
