What sets YMCA Child Care apart?

One of the great things about YMCA Child Care is the experience you and your child will have no matter where you live. Whether your child is a pre-schooler or school-age, YMCA Child Care operates with consistent best practices and standards across the country. All YMCA Child Care programs are licensed under the Day Nurseries Act with regular evaluation to ensure quality in Child Care practices. They are also inspected annually to confirm compliance by Ministry standards.

YMCA Pre-school Child Care

The YMCA Pre-school Child Care Program is committed to the core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility, and we further each child’s development through the following goals:

  • To support and strengthen the family unit
  • To help children develop to their fullest potential
  • To care for children in a safe, positive environment

You can also find out more about our program in our Pre-school Child Care Brochure.

 

Playing to Learn Curriculum

Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of YMCA Pre-school Child Care is the Playing to Learn approach. YMCA Playing to Learn is a national YMCA curriculum that helps children discover learning through creative play and aligns with primary school benchmarks.

YMCA Playing to Learn provides an understanding of how play is the foundation for learning to read and write, and for learning mathematics, science and technology. We believe YMCA Playing to Learn is the best approach to ensure a child's continued enthusiasm and capacity for lifelong learning.
