How It Works
The Southwest Family YMCA Child Development Center is a state-licensed, full-day program committed to supporting each child’s learning and development from infancy through age five.
We use the Creative Curriculum, a research-backed approach that integrates language, literacy, problem-solving, and play into daily learning. Children are encouraged to explore and create in a safe, structured setting.
Children enrolled in the program will:
- Strengthen communication and motor skills
- Participate in early literacy, art, and hands-on STEM experiences
- Build independence, kindness, and cooperation
- Play, learn, and grow indoors and outdoors
