Playing To Learn

YMCA Early Learning and Care programs are designed to nurture the development of your child in all areas through our YMCA Playing to Learn™ curriculum.

Playing to Learn encourages engagement, social interaction, imagination, a joy of learning, and will nourish the connection between learning and play, as well as your child’s holistic development and wellbeing.

For A Healthy Start

Outdoor and Loose Parts Play

Your child will be encouraged to engage with their environment in all seasons for a minimum of one hour per day (weather depending) on our outdoor rooftop playground.

This open-ended play environment provides your child an opportunity to engage in free and unstructured play in a natural setting. When children are encouraged to explore without intrinsic goals, they become problem solvers, gain confidence, and learn to collaborate.

Communication and Insight

Gaining deeper insights into your child’s unique interests, needs and abilities is easier than ever with Storytime.

It is a secure and private app which allows educators to post updates on your child’s day complete with photos and videos, learning and development stories, newsletters, notices as well as communicate important news to you in real time.

Snacks and Menus

Your child receives morning and afternoon snacks and quality, chef-prepared lunches on a four-week menu rotation that is available to parents in advance.

Summer School-Age Subsidy Rates

The Government of Alberta continues to support families in accessing affordable, quality child care. We heard from parents and child care programs that increasing school-age child care subsidy rates during the summer months in 2020 and 2021 helped many families who needed full-day care while schools are closed–and we are pleased to provide an increase again for summer 2022.

For July and August 2022, subsidy rates will increase to help offset the full-time program fees for eligible school-age children enrolled in licensed childcare programs over the summer months. The rate increase will occur automatically and is applicable to children who attended in Grades1-6 during the 2021-22 school year. The subsidy rates will return to the regular amounts starting in September.
