Learning Through Play
At the YMCA, our childcare development centers are guided by the core belief that young children learn best through play, which is the essential and authentic work of childhood. Our infant daycare and childcare programs encourage purposeful play, allowing children to discover, create, improvise, and expand their learning.
We structure our daycare centers to ensure children are active participants in their own development and growth. Our dedicated educators observe and respond thoughtfully to each child, nurturing their current skills and scaffolding their development to reach new milestones in their individual learning journeys.
Using the Creative Curriculum, our daycare programs balance teacher-planned activities with child-initiated exploration, emphasizing responding to children’s strengths, interests, needs, and learning style. This engaging curriculum includes a variety of stimulating activities such as dramatic play, language development, science exploration, math activities, social studies, music and art enrichment, and opportunities for both large and small motor skill growth.
When families choose YMCA daycares, they choose environments designed specifically to inspire learning and joy in every child.
