Infant Care – 6 weeks to 17 months

Programs at the Y Children’s Academy are the first step down the path of educational progression at the Y. Early care activities are designed to meet the growth and developmental needs of each child through The Creative Curriculum (R), a research based, state approved teaching strategy. Starting at the infant level, youth are introduced to daily instruction that focuses on routines and experiences that grows with them, increasing their kindergarten readiness and promoting social-emotional development. Our trained staff provide a nurturing environment where your children will learn, grow and thrive in a safe environment. Financial assistance is available through the YMCA and other subsidies.
