Early Learners Program
At the Pav YMCA, we believe that a child's preparation for schooling should be a
stress free learning experience.  At this young age play is a child's most important
work.  Play helps children build positive a self image and also develop social skills
with age appropriate activities that promote creativity, discovery, and understanding.
We offer programs for ages 3-5 that meet Mon/Wed/Fri from 9:00-11:30am or
Tues/Thurs from 9:00-11:30am. Our program is based on age-appropriate activities.
