LEARNING & EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Curriculum:

YMCA Early Learning Program uses the Creative Curriculum in conjunction with the Gold assessment tool. The Creative curriculum incorporates experiences that permit learning through guided play and active discovery. By incorporating the latest research on early childhood, the curriculum focuses on development of the whole child – cognitive, social, and physical. We also provide electronic daily reports (tadpoles). Every month we have prepared special events and/or field trips for the children enrolled in our program.

THE YMCA EARLY LEARNING PROGRAM OFFERS:

• A safe and nurturing environment, instilling socially-conscious values and reinforcing positive skills.
• Tadpoles-Electronic check-in/out and daily report system
• A Children’s Library
• Enrichment Programs (a series of project-based learning units of study which encompass the arts, science, and physical activity)
• A Large Outdoor Playground Area.
• Field Trips, In-house performances and special events.
• Additional youth sports classes, swimming, and club activities available
• Community Events and Outreach

The YMCA After School Program

Parents often worry where their children will go and what they’ll be doing once the school bell rings at the end of the day. When children are engaged in fun activities and surrounded by role models, they abstain from risky behavior.

From arts and crafts to field trips, the Center will provide academic enrichment, homework support, and a fun environment to help all students thrive. The new Center will provide after-school programming starting at 2:30 pm, and continuing until 6pm.

Transportation is provided from the following schools:
