STRONG BEGINNINGS
Bright Futures
The first six years of a child’s life are crucial; a time when children develop their mental and social functions at a rapid pace. This development is greatly influenced by their educational environment.
Through the use of guided self-discovery and experiential learning, the Y’s Early Education program teachers focus on providing experiences to facilitate your child’s cognitive, social, physical, and emotional growth. Each day offers unique, expertly designed programs.
The following programs are offered through the YMCA of Greater Nashua.
- Creation Station (Kindergarten Readiness) - Nashua YMCA
Creation Station is a licensed, 2.5 hour, kindergarten readiness program for 3-5 year olds held at the Nashua Y.
From 9:30am-12:00pm your child will participate in an exciting hands-on curriculum program with qualified, nurturing staff members, creating an environment that will support each child’s social, emotional and cognitive growth and development.
Children will join in literacy learning, science, math, nutrition and physical education!
Choose from 2, 3 and 5 day a week options. For 5 day option, register your child for both the 2 and 3 day option.
