10 “For our family, the YMCA’s Early Childhood Education Center has been a godsend! The administrators are compassionate and supportive. I’ve appreciated the diversity offered from the teachers to the children in the program. The YMCA’s commitment to community engagement ensures that children of different races and socio-economic status are given the same opportunities in the same nurturing environment. I cannot overemphasize the value our family has found in the YMCA Early Childhood Education Center program. The facilities are second to none, the teachers are loving, the community is enriching, and the program is exceptional.” – EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION PARENT SO MUCH MORE THAN CHILD CARE, IT’S A PLACE JUST RIGHT FOR THEM, NEW FOR 2016!
