The YWCA provides a safe, nurturing and exciting learning environment for children in each of its programs. Activities are age-appropriate and focus on social, emotional and academic development. The YWCA creates many opportunities for children to make their own choices and exercise creativity.
Children participate in loosely structured, open ended activities that are initiated by them, including table games, reading and homework as well as a variety of structured activities presented to the children each day. Choices include computer projects and lessons, baking or cooking lessons, craft projects, science and writing activities as well as recreational activities such as swimming, drama or games in the gymnasium or park.
