INFANT PROGRAM

Student to teacher ration: 4:1
Ages: 6 weeks - 18 months

Infants learn best through a combination of free exploration and purposeful activities that are planned by caring and attentive staff.  In addition to meeting the daily basic needs of infants, staff provide a variety of experiences in the many areas of development. These areas include: social and emotional development, sensory exploration, gross motor, fine motor, music, and language. Our program thrives on creating consistency between home and school environments, and supports the endless possibilities that come from parent and teacher collaboration.

TODDLER PROGRAM

Student to teacher ration: 5:1

Toddlers are very busy and curious children who love hands on activities and engaging in sensory exploration. Our program is designed to fulfill not only the basic needs of children but provide an array of enriching and fun experiences both indoor and out. We strive to support toddlers through the difficult stages of social and emotional development, guiding them with love through this journey.  Our dedicated staff achieve these goals by building strong relationships with both children and their families.

PRESCHOOL

Student to teacher ration: 8:1
Ages: 3 - 5 years

Preschool children learn best through hands on experiences. They are still finding their way through social and emotional development and learning about the world. The program offers children practice in these areas while building school readiness skills and a love of learning. Staff provide a fun and enriching curriculum, weaving in the core values of the YMCA: caring, respect, honestly and responsibility.
