Child care
Growing Years began in 1978 when two young people advanced in their fields and aware of children's wants and needs decided that this area warranted a special program. Setting high standards in seeking a highly qualified staff and developing a well rounded curriculum was our top priority. The aims of our program are to teach and develop each child as fully as possible in their socio-educational development. Each child will be able to progress at a comfortable rate without pressure. The physical, social, and emotional growth precedes the intellectual growth in order of importance. Our goals are to have each child make new friends, get along with others, develop educational and motor skills along with learning to love and grow. We are a completely qualified and approved toddler, preschool, prekindergarten, and kindergarten program through EEC. We are situated in a country atmosphere yet are only 2 miles from the Loop between Route 213 Methuen and Route 97 Haverhill.

Methuen YMCA

129 Haverhill Street Methuen, MA

< 1 mi

The Methuen YMCA offers childcare programs for Toddlers (15 month - 2.9 years), Preschool (2.9-5 years), and School Age After School (5-13 years). We believe the values and skills learned early-on are vital building blocks for quality of life and future success. That's why our childcare programs focus on nurturing child development by providing a safe place to learn foundational skills, develop healthy, trusting relationships and build self-reliance. At the Y, toddlers develop trust and security, preschoolers experience early literacy and learn about their world, and school age kids make friends and learn new skills. Most importantly, children learn how to be their best selves. This makes for confident kids today, and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Methuen, MA

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Methuen, MA. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Methuen, MA for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Methuen, MA, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Methuen, MA.

When looking for a preschool near you in Methuen, MA on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code. From there, you can compare between preschool programs by traditional facility-based preschools and private, in-home preschools.
