The Chippewa Falls YMCA Early Learning Community child care programs work to build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities by developing the mind, body, and spirit through the YMCA core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility.
Philosophy
The children are exposed to a variety of activities, projects, and role modeling that reinforce positive values. The YMCA focuses on character development that emphasizes the YMCA core values of Caring, Respect, Responsibility, and Honesty.
Young children need years of play with real objects and events before they are ready to understand the meaning of symbols such as letters and numbers or before they are ready to handle situations completely independently.
Learning takes place as children touch, manipulate, and experiment with things and interact with people. Our curriculum focuses on the process of learning rather than the product.
Our programs include activities that will enhance social, cognitive, language, and physical development. Activities are planned to encourage children to explore, experiment, discover, learn, create, and increase self-understanding, as they acquire and develop these skills.
