Childcare Services
Our Program Philosophy
The YMCA provides a vital service to families in the community Child Care programs that deliver a stimulating learning experience to children in a safe environment. We enrich family life by providing the opportunity for Parent/Guardians to seek employment or education outside the home. YMCA Child Care provides experience that enhance a child’s social, intellectual, physical and emotional development.
Our Programs Enhance Learning
The programs at the YMCA Childcare Centre is based on the “Playing to Learn” approach. We view children as Active Learners both mentally and physically. Our experienced Early Childhood Educators plan activities and experiences that are of interest to the children in our program, building on their existing strengths and knowledge. Our consistent daily routine offers a wide variety of learning experiences and activities. Our daily activities are planned around appropriate child development practices and the interests of the children.
We provide activities that are both interesting and satisfying to your child. Active involvement in the program and ongoing observations guide teachers as they implement activities that both stimulate and challenge children as they group and develop. Full involvement in , and satisfaction from one’s work is of prime importance for social and emotional growth.
