Programs With A Purpose
The YMCA of the North Shore believes that our childcare programs are an extension of the home. We seek to help children and adults in their daily functioning, to relieve stress, and to provide the necessary resources that will strengthen the family unit that we believe is the foundation for a healthy community, society and world. The YMCA advocates for all parents in their efforts to be responsible caregivers who are concerned with developmentally appropriate activities, practices, and programs for their children. YMCA programs provide a safe, wholesome environment in which children can learn to communicate, cooperate and care about each other.The Children's Enrichment Center cares and nurtures children ages 6 weeks though 2.9 years. Our center is accredited through the National Association for the Education on Young Children (NAEYC), an accreditation that only 7% of programs receive nationally. This accreditation, in conjuction with the high standards developed and enofrced at the YMCA, ensures that all children receive safe care AND the important learnings that are essential in developing successful preschoolers. Full-Day Preschool Care Program Offers: - Cooperative play emphasis
- Socialization Skills
- Preschool Creative Curriculum
- Low Staff-to Child Ratios
- Licensed by the Department of Early Education and Care
- Caring, nurturing staff
