YMCA Child Development for Providence Employees

Our early childhood programs serve children from 6 weeks through Pre-K and are located directly on Providence campuses for convenience and peace of mind.

What families can expect:

• Licensed, high-quality early childhood education
• Experienced, caring teachers who know your child by name
• Developmentally appropriate learning through play
• Safe, welcoming classrooms rooted in YMCA values
• A community that supports working families

Because when children feel they belong, they thrive.

 

Where Play Builds Belonging

At the YMCA, play is not extra — it is essential. Through play, children learn how to share, solve problems, build friendships, and feel confident in who they are.

Our classrooms are places where:

• Every child is welcomed
• Every family is respected
• Every day includes joy, learning, and connection

There truly is no place like this place for your child’s earliest years.
