TODDLER AND PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS
YMCA Playing to Learn Curriculum Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of YMCA Child Care is the Playing to Learn approach. YMCA Playing to Learn is a national YMCA curriculum that helps children discover learning through play and aligns with primary school benchmarks. YMCA Playing to Learn provides an understanding of how play is the foundation for learning to read and write, and for learning mathematics, science and technology. We believe YMCA Playing to Learn is the best approach to ensure a child’s continued enthusiasm and capacity for lifelong learning.
