The YWCA Early Childhood Program is a support service for women participating in YWCA programs, students, working families, and families seeking to enhance the social, emotional, physical and cognitive development of their child. The childcare center provides temporary or long-term care for children, support and education regarding childcare issues for parents, and information, referral and support for families. The state-of-the-art childcare center was newly renovated and offers childcare for infants and toddlers and preschool services for preschool aged children.
Our primary goals in working with children are to promote a sense of self-worth, to foster independence and self-discipline, to provide opportunities for success and to meet each child's individual developmental needs.

Entrance to Childcare Center Childcare Loft Childcare Classroom
Both quiet and active play is the provided at the center. Play helps children to learn about themselves and their environment, as well as learn social skills. While playing, children learn problem solving, gaining self-confidence in their abilities, Play helps children to discover cause and effect, critical thinking skills, to develop language, relate to others, and develop readiness for academic learning. Our center philosophy is designed to promote and enhance the social, emotional, physical and cognitive development of the children, by providing developmentally appropriate learning activities and curriculum. Children experience creativity, achievement, disappointment, sadness, pride, and joy through play. Play is the means by which children move and develop their bodies, as well as their thoughts, sight, hearing, and speech. Outdoor play is routine except when weather conditions are severe. All children are served a nutritious morning snack and afternoon snack, and lunch.
