YMCA Infant Care

INFANT CARE (6 Weeks - 12 Months)

Infant Care at the Y provides responsive, individualized care for infants in a safe, developmentally stimulating environment. Every infant is assigned a primary caregiver with who the child learn to build a trusting relationship. Your child's primary caregiver provides one-on-one interaction and monitors your child's social, physical, cognitive, and emotional development. Daily communications are provided via the Remini app, including information about your infant's day (meals, moods, diapering, naps, activities, and developmental milestones).

YMCA Toddler Care

TODDLER CARE (12 Months - 3 Years)

Our Toddler Program fosters the beginning of independence while ensuring that children succeed in their environment. Primary caregivers help toddlers learn how to adapt to a daily routine and respond appropriately socially, manage their own emotions, broaden their receptive and expressive language skills, and develop more refined gross and fine motor abilities. Using the Creative Curriculum, activities are play-based which encourages stimulating interaction with toys and people and allows for individual children to learn and grow at their own pace. Experienced teachers promote learning through active exploration and creative movement as well as continually engaging toddlers in thoughtful conversation as they try new activities and experiences.
