At the Y, we believe every child is of promise and deserves the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. The Treasure Valley Family YMCA’s Child Development programs support children in their ongoing growth to ensure that they are ready for the next educational milestone, whether that be preschool, kindergarten, middle school, or high school.

All Y Child Development programs have caring, passionate, trained teachers that develop lesson plans and create learning environments that intentionally incorporate the 40 Developmental Assets®, conscious discipline techniques, academics, nutrition, physical fitness, fun, and the Y’s four core values: caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.
