Infant and Toddler Programs
For ages 6 weeks through 36 months, our programs for infants and toddlers feature low, child to adult ratios and the type of care parents have come to expect from YMCA staff. Our classrooms include cribs, changing tables, and individualized care for children.
Infant/Toddler Contracted Slots Program
The Infant Toddler Contracted Slots Program builds upon the already established infrastructure of the Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts (PA PKC) Program model. The ITCS program provides an infant- toddler focused program with established PA PKC programs for continued focus on quality programming while building strong transitions from infant-toddler to pre-kindergarten classrooms.
Preschool programs
We offer programs for children 3 yrs to Pre-K. The Preschool builds on a child's natural desire to learn new things and become more self-reliant. Getting along with other children, sharing, taking turns and working in a group are a natural part of playing games or learning a new craft.
