Early Learning and Care
Early Learning Child Care - Banner & Copy
At the YMCA we celebrate play as the primary vehicle for learning and development in the early years. Our Educators are trained in YMCA Playing to Learn Curriculum as well as Flight: Alberta's Early Learning and Care Framework to harness the power of play in these critical years of your child's development. At the YMCA of Northern Alberta, your child will be celebrated as a mighty learner and citizen while developing the pro-social and academic skills essential to their early years.
