East Orange YMCA
Academic Enrichment
EARLY CHILDHOOD PRESCHOOL PROGRAM
At the East Orange YMCA, we believe that each child is a special and unique individual.
We base our curriculum on our knowledge of the ways in which young children learn best. Our classrooms and activities are designed to meet the needs of the whole child.
Our hands-on experience-based approach promotes comprehensive child development and also fosters a love of learning.
AFTERSCHOOL ENRICHMENT PROGRAM
(SCHOOL-AGE CHILD CARE)
WE BELIEVE IN AFTERSCHOOL ENGAGEMENT
A quality afterschool program is more than just a safe place for kids to hang out after the bell rings. Afterschool programs nurture potential, improve academic engagement and achievement, build confidence and character and support healthy development in spirit, mind and body.
From homework assistance and the arts to stimulate the mind, getting physically active to improve health and getting into the community to support neighbors, our afterschool program gives kids a sense of the world around them and the role they can play in that world. Having goals and aspirations - being able to imagine a successful future - plays a large part in making that future happen.
Afterschool sites - East Orange YMCA, Althea Gibson, Edward T. Bowser, Dionne Warwick, Whitney E. Houston, Mildred Barry Garvin and George Washington Carver.
