Cape Cod Young Men's Christian Association Inc

CHILD CARE: AT ALL OUR LICENSED CHILD CARE CENTERS, CHILDREN ARE EXPOSED TO AN ABUNDANCE OF LEARNING EXPERIENCES THAT NURTURE THEIR HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT. WE PROVIDE INFANTS THROUGH SCHOOL-AGE YOUTH A SAFE, NURTURING ENVIRONMENT FOR CHILDREN TO LEARN, GROW AND DEVELOP SOCIAL SKILLS. FREE SWIM INSTRUCTION, ADVENTURE HIKES AND FIELD TRIPS ARE JUST SOME OF THE UNIQUE ACTIVITIES WE OFFER TO FOSTER PERSONAL GROWTH, INDEPENDENCE AND INDIVIDUALITY. THE Y'S VISION IS TO STRENGTHEN THE FOUNDATION OF COMMUNITY AND IT IS PART OF EVERYTHING WE DO. OUR QUALIFIED STAFF PROVIDES A CARING ENVIRONMENT THAT ENCOURAGES YOUNG MINDS TO GROW, EXPLORE AND APPRECIATE THE WORLD IN WHICH THEY LIVE. PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, SOCIAL, AND COGNITIVE SKILLS ARE EMPHASIZED THROUGHOUT THE DAY BY UTILIZING DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE CURRICULUM. HIGH VALUE IS PLACED ON THE FRUITS OF CREATIVITY AND INDEPENDENCE, WHICH MAKES THE DAY AN ENJOYABLE MIX OF PLAY, LEARNING AND CHALLENGE. THROUGH THIS LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, CHILDREN BECOME MORE CONFIDENT WITH THEMSELVES, OTHER CHILDREN, ADULTS AND THE WORLD AROUND THEM.
