child by working in partnership with families. YMCA Early Childhood Development programs, licensed by the New York
City Department of Health, provide a nurturing environment where children’s natural curiosity is a springboard to
learning skills that are necessary for success in school. Children learn how to share, take turns and work in groups. WHAT AGE GROUP DOES THE STUDENT FALL INTO?
They also develop age-appropriate skills that form the foundation for reading, writing and mathematics. Imaginative
