Ensuring Bright Futures
<h2>Where education meets fun...</h2><blockquote>I have used other childcare programs, and the difference here is that this is more than a job to the employees of the YMCA. They are here to model and teach children very special values. It is an environment where people care about more than just the dollar!</blockquote>
Jennifer, YMCA Mom
Each day at the Y, we nurture the potential of every child. Because the early years are so important to a child&rsquo;s life, we are dedicated to making them the most enriching. At the Y, we provide a fun, safe and structured hands-on learning experience where children can discover their full learning potential in a home away from home.
Our Early Education Center offers a wide variety of experiences that help children to learn, grow, and thrive. Not only are these years the most precious, they are the most formative when it comes to cognitive, physical, linguistic and social development. Our goal is to stimulate the children&rsquo;s academic abilities and creativity while fostering the development of their social skills and individuality.
We strive to bring out the best in each and every child that comes through our Center&rsquo;s doors. The Y&rsquo;s core values of caring, respect, honesty and responsibility are woven throughout our Center&rsquo;s program to create a warm, nurturing environment for children; a home away from home, where they feel secure and confident to discover their potential.
Our program curriculum is designed to consider the general patterns of growth and to recognize and accept individual differences among children. Our nurturing and well qualified staff focuses on six content areas within The Creative Curriculum&reg;: literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, arts &amp; technology, all while making sure your children have fun and express their individuality while learning.Social-Emotional Development
Sanford Harmony&trade; is a social-emotional learning program designed to foster communication, connection and community both in and outside the classroom through an environment of acceptance and inclusion that celebrates strengths and differences. This PreK-6 evidence-based program helps children develop into compassionate and caring adults. Aligned with the Y&rsquo;s four core values, Harmony-based stories, games, songs, and a variety of age-appropriate lessons are seamlessly integrated into our YMCA Early Education Center&rsquo;s Pre-K and Kindergarten experience. Intentional activities help children develop self-confidence, control, and respect for the feelings and rights of others.
Uniting for Autism: A New Partnership with The Uncommon Thread
At the Y, we believe every child has incredible potential, and our partnership with The Uncommon Thread (TUT) brings that belief to life for children with autism and their families. Changing Lives Through Proven Therapy.Since 2007, TUT has been dedicated to enhancing the lives of children with autism through Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy&mdash;the only evidence-based treatment recognized for autism. ABA therapy opens doors for children, helping to improve communication, social skills, independence, and learning abilities. TUT&rsquo;s therapists witness the life-changing results of ABA therapy every day in the many nurturing settings they offer.Through this exciting collaboration with GSCY, children in need of TUT&rsquo;s services will enjoy the best of both worlds. They will have the opportunity to learn and socialize alongside their peers in YMCA programs while receiving personalized, one-on-one therapy from a dedicated ABA therapist. This approach ensures every child receives the support they need to grow, develop, and build essential life skills every day&mdash;all while enjoying the camaraderie of their friends and community.Locations Offering Services:
