Full-time child care programs offer full-day child care for children ages six-weeks through preschool. At the Y, we believe that growth and development are critical in a child’s earliest years. YMCA Child Development programs are committed to providing an environment where children feel safe and are encouraged to explore and learn. Our programs provide opportunities, experiences, and relationships to stimulate a young child’s physical, social, cognitive, and emotional development.

All of our YMCA Infant, Toddler, and Preschool programs use the Frog Street Curriculum. Frog Street is a high-quality, child-centered, research-based curriculum. This comprehensive program, developed by leading child development experts, uses early learning best practices as well as the latest early brain research. Frog Street Pre-K has enriched language, literacy, and math for children ages 3–5.
