EARLY CHILD DEVELOPMENT

Early Child Development/Preschool

(Ages 18mos-5yrs) Through the YMCA, children embark on a voyage of learning with a curriculum that addresses the development of the whole child. By using a variety of strategies, our CDC (Child Development Curriculum) utilizes a creative bilingual curriculum that includes an appreciation for language and literature, listening, speaking, reading and writing. Children also focus on values and lessons that include interaction with others and problem-solving skills.

Throughout the day, children are kept busy and their creative spirit is constantly regenerated in educational ways.

Location: Second Christian Church at 606A Moody HISD Young Learner Site, a certified PreK program, along with the C.I.R.C.L.E. (Center for Improving Readiness of Children for Learning and Education Curriculum). We provide a morning and afternoon snack. Parent provides a nutritious lunch.

YMCA AfterSchool

(Ages 6-12) Once a child reaches school age, multiple influences enter his or her life. YMCA AfterSchool ensures that the time after school is occupied creatively and constructively. YMCA AfterSchool programs are offered in partnership with area school districts and various other organizations, offering AfterSchool in more than 280 locations.

Children participate in a balanced program of open play and structured activities while being supervised by well-trained and caring staff. Children get involved in a variety of learning centers in addition to program components such as: recreation, health enhancement, arts and humanities programs, nutritional snacks, service learning, character development and homework assistance.
