The YMCA Woodland Extended Child Care program is for preschool children who attend the Woodland school. Our fee is included as part of your readiness payment to the Woodland program. This program is in operation year round during all days that school is in session. The program is based on the philosophy that children are individuals with distinct personalities and capabilities. East Hartford YMCA programs develop the spirit, mind and body of each member.
YMCA programs teach the core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
The YMCA's commitment to values make its programs a positive force in our region. To provide a safe, healthy environment for children of working parents or persons who are otherwise in need of child care for preschool age children. To provide an environment in which children can develop a respect for learning and keep alive a child's curiosity and desire to explore. To provide a program which promotes the development of the individual child. To establish positive patterns of interaction and cooperative play with other children.
