Days Gone By YMCA Early Learning Community strives to offer high quality early childhood care and education to families in the Chippewa Valley. We believe that each child has been created by God to be a unique and special individual with a wonderful purpose. Furthermore, we believe that parents are the most important people in children’s lives and we strive to support and strengthen relationships through strong communication and supportive programming. Trust, respect, and integrity are the foundation of our philosophies.
Philosophy
Days Gone By Early Learning offers faith-based principles and developmentally appropriate learning opportunities for your children. We offer a back-to-basics program that promotes learning through play for Infants, Toddlers, Preschool (including Eau Claire School District 4k), and School Age programs, and Summer programming.
We want the children to be excited to be with us as they discover, explore, and play. Along with all of these experiences, we also feel that it is very important for children to have opportunities to practice and develop their social and emotional skills, such as sharing, kindness, and using words to express themselves. We utilize character education to help children learn how to accept and appreciate each other and the world around them. As a faith-based program, we strongly believe that God created each child to be a special, unique person with a wonderful purpose. It is our greatest desire to work with parents in an effort to help each child find that purpose.
