The YMCA's infant care program is designed to meet the needs of each baby based on his or her own schedule. Infants nap, feed, play, and cuddle when they're ready, not on someone else's predetermined timeline. Music, singing, reading, finger playing, and constant verbalization foster budding socialization, self-concept, and developmental skills. Facilities are equipped with cribs, swings, walkers, and age-appropriate toys and books.
Toddlers make great developmental strides from first steps to potty-training, and our teachers are right there to provide support in a fun and active environment. Energetic teachers plan activities to encourage a toddler’s eager investigation of the world. Teachers plan days filled with a balance of quiet activities, spirited music and movement, plenty of outdoor climbing, running and jumping.
Young toddlers, in our Toddler 1 room play and learn in an environment with lots of opportunities for independent exploration. Finger plays, stories and songs are incorporated into each day to foster a toddler’s awareness of the world around them.
For our older toddlers, in our Toddler 2 room, the emphasis is socialization and the acquisition of self-help skills, particularly potty training. Activities such as circle time are introduced to encourage verbal and social growth. In addition, toddlers are practicing hand washing, putting on their coats, picking up their toys and sharing with their friends.
Children in the Preschool Program enjoy themes, field trips, special events, and graduation that build self-confidence and socialization skills. Swim lessons are included in the half day Monday, Wednesday, and Friday program. We offer full-day and half-day pre- school programs. The Y provides a stimulating learning environment for preschoolers.
