Building New Skills

Early Learning Toddler and Preschool Programs

Our child care programs allow parents to answer the inevitable questions: Where can my child be safe and learn what they need to know to be prepared for school, and for life?

The New Haven YMCA Youth Center provides an OEC licensed toddler program for 1-2 year-olds, a  School-Readiness program and a NAEYC accredited Preschool program for 3-5 year-olds. All programs are full day and year round.

We are proud to be helping youngsters gain self-confidence and social skills while developing positive attitudes about school and learning! Please take a look at our brochure: NHYYC-2024-2025-ELC-Brochure and the answers to frequently asked questions.
