As part of the YWCA’s mission to empower women and eliminate racism, the center is committed to providing care in an environment that supports the needs of all families, regardless of their social, ethnic or economic status. A Child's World is dedicated to providing quality care that will enrich a child’s unique social, emotional, physical and intellectual development. A Child's World's primary goals are to:

1. Provide a developmentally appropriate environment for young children

2. Support and strengthen the quality of life for young children and their families

3. Provide care in an environment that supports the needs of all families, regardless of their structure or diversity.

A Child's World is accredited through the National Association for the Education of Young Children.  Accredited programs go through an extensive process to go above and beyond what state licensing regulations say are appropriate for child care centers. Children attending programs receive a higher quality of care from a well-trained staff and have a safe and stimulating early learning environment in which to learn and grow.

Our Curriculum comes from using a variety of approaches. Our lessons are planned by using the Developmentally Appropriate Practice, Integrated, Emergent and Anti-Bias approaches and using the ITERS/ECERS/SAERS environmental tools. All of these tools used together help us teach the whole child by creating a challenging, fun, stimulating and safe environment for the children to learn at their full potential.

A Child's World offers professional teachers, state approved Kindergarten, an indoor gym, an outdoor playground and home cooked meals. The center is open to the public, is licensed by the Department of Human services and is a separate program from the YWCA Shelter Children’s services.

Ages: 6 weeks through 12 years
