Our centers have age-appropriate classrooms, and educational toys designed to foster your child's creativity. From four weeks to 12 years of age, we will engage your child in exciting learning activities specifically designed to meet their developmental needs. Our curriculum emphasizes language and literacy, cognitive development, social-emotional skills, creativity and physical exercise. We also go beyond basic curriculum by instilling positive traits that will lead to a lifetime of success through our life-skills programs. The YWCA was one of the first groups in the country to recognize the need for quality child care as mothers began to join the workforce. In 1864, the YWCA founded the first child care center in the United States. Over the decades we have earned a national reputation for loving child care and child development programs. Daily lesson plans focus on values such as appreciation of different cultures and racial diversity. We partner with other agencies to insure that no family is denied care due to income. EmBe childcare centers provide USDA approved meals and snacks.EmBe has an open door policy and parents and grandparents are invited to drop in anytime to participate in their child’s learning experience. From drop-in visits to chaperoning field trips to enjoying family events, we value and encourage our parent-teacher partnerships.
