Part-Time Preschool Child Care
Learn through play!
If you need child care for a 2.5-5 year-old — just not every day of the work week — the West YMCA has the answer! Our part-time care program is available for anywhere from two to four days a week, and we’re enrolling now.
Y Child Care meets the developmental needs of each child by partnering with families. We utilize the research-based Creative Curriculum that is directed by student interests, uses play as a learning tool and encourages critical thinking skills through investigation and project-based learning. The interdisciplinary format uses different components for different parts of the school day, including math and literacy. Children are immersed in high-quality learning in a safe, nurturing and welcoming environment.
Plus, how many other child care centers have a pool and a gym???
