Infant Care – 6 weeks to 17 months
Programs at the Y Children’s Academy are the first step down the path of educational progression at the Y. Early care activities are designed to meet the growth and developmental needs of each child through The Creative Curriculum (R), a research based, state approved teaching strategy and education program. Starting in the early years, at the infant level, youth are introduced to daily instruction that focuses on routines and experiences that grow with them, increasing their kindergarten readiness and promoting social-emotional development. Our trained staff provide a nurturing environment where your child will learn, grow and thrive in a safe infant daycare environment so you can have peace of mind. Financial assistance is available through the YMCA and other subsidies.
YMCA Children’s Academy Infant daycare program is offered at the locations listed below.
