Childrens Corner
Full Day Licensed Child Care [08710]
For Children 3 to 5 Years Old
Full Day Child Care registration is ongoing throughout the year. Our Preschool portion runs September-June with a switch over to Camp Care-A-Lot the first week in June. YMCA Child Care builds on children’s natural desire to learn new things and become more self-reliant. Our Full Day Childcare Program provides a developmentally age appropriate early childhood program. The program follows the guidelines of the Delaware Early Learning Foundation for School Success and the National Association of Educators of Young Children regarding effective classroom practices for three, four and five year old children. Learning takes place in a safe, caring and nurturing environment. Themes that are meaningful for young children are integrated into learning centers and small group activities promoting physical, social, emotional and intellectual development. Learning occurs spontaneously through children’s play.

CATCH
Coordinated Approach To Child Health is a new program incorporated into the YMCA After School Care Programs. Three days out of the week the children play games that get them on their feet and moving. Twice a week the children will learn about healthy snacks and eating habits. The CATCH program has proven that establishing healthy eating habits during childhood can promote behavior change that carries over to adulthood. CATCH is a great way for your child to get your child active and healthy while at the YMCA After School Care.
