THE CENTER METHOD AND THE CREATIVE CURRICULUM ARE THEMED-BASED WITH SPECIFIC GOALS FOR INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT THAT PREPARES EACH STUDENT FOR HIGHER LEVELS OF LEARNING. AT THE Y, CHILDREN ALSO BENEFIT FROM MEANINGFUL PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, SUCH AS SWIM LESSONS AND GYM ACTIVITIES. A KEY FEATURE OF OUR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION PROGRAM IS PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT. WE WORK WITH PARENTS AS PARTNERS, HELPING THEM TO BUILD KNOWLEDGE OF EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT AND UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION. EQUIPPED WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE, PARENTS WORK DILIGENTLY WITH THEIR CHILDREN TO REINFORCE AT HOME LESSONS AND SKILLS LEARNED AT THE YMCA.
