When our young people feel safe, secure and are interested in learning and good health, they make smarter life choices in the future. They can explore their unique talents and interests, helping them realize their potential. They become independent, self-confident, inquisitive and enthusiastic learners. This makes for confident kids today and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow. EARLY LEARNING These programs strengthen families and boost youth development by offering infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and their families a safe and healthy place to learn foundational skills, develop relationships and build self-reliance through character development and a structured curriculum. Children need to have time to play, make choices, problem solve and have fun. With so many demands on today’s families, the Y recognizes that our parents, guardians and caregivers need a reliable high-quality program in which they can be confident that their child is realizing their full potential. And, children need an environment that responds to individual needs and development while maintaining a safe and healthy atmosphere. Our programs are led by experienced and caring staff and we encourage parent involvement. Creative Curriculum® All Y early learning programs follow Creative Curriculum® which is a nationally-recognized framework rooted in educational philosophy and theory as well as in practice. The curriculum is composed of core learning areas and takes into account individual interests, the learning environment, how children develop and learn, and the role of the teacher. Our infant through full-day kindergarten programs at our Westfield locations are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. To learn more, visit our website or naeyc.org.
