» CHILD CARE EDUCATION
At the Westfield Area Y, we believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for life. 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.
INFANT (ages 6-17 mos.) and TODDLER (ages 18-29 mos.)
• Our day: centers (including floor activities with manipulative, art and sensory experiences), breakfast/snacks/lunch, nap, indoor/outdoor physical time, circle time.
• Learning areas: infants develop sense of self, learn basic skills and how to socialize. Toddlers learn self-help skills, engage in active and quiet activities, sharing, caring and using

exploration and hands-on learning with art, dramatic play, building, nature and quiet areas), small-group theme-based activities, snack, story, music and movement (indoor/outdoor).

KINDERGARTEN
The Y has full-day Kindergarten and half-day complements for children in
outside programs. We follow the public school calendar and expand upon the
incorporated public school curriculum.
• Our day: daily interactive experiences with math, literacy, science and social studies using the Creative Curriculum® and Everyday Mathematics® program. Through both large and small group lessons, students develop new skills, express their thoughts and ideas, ask questions, solve problems and make discoveries. Specials may include gym, music, art, Spanish and/or a 30-minute swim lesson (varies by location).
• Learning areas: language arts, science, social studies, gym, art, music, Spanish
