YMCA Playing to Learn Curriculum 

Play is fun, but play is also the cornerstone for your child's future academic success. The YMCA Playing to Learn Curriculum prepares children for school by developing self-regulation skills and confidence, encouraging inquiry, discovery and imagination, building social and communication skills, empathy and friendships, and promoting useful academic skills, including numeracy and literacy. 

YMCA Early Childhood Educators help children form positive relationships by building dependable, positive, and nurturing relationships, fostering healthy social connections with other children and responding to each child's individual developmental needs through observation and reaction to cues. 

Playing to Learn, ages 0 to 4

Through active play and the YMCA Playing to Learn Curriculum, children gain the foundations for literacy, science & technology, and the arts. Your child will leave the Y with a continued enthusiasm and capacity for life-long learning.
