CREATING LIFELONG LEARNERS

At the Whatcom Family YMCA, we are committed to helping children and their families learn, grow, and thrive.  We offer three locations to serve you, both with a caring, nurturing environment and warm, supportive staff that provide age-appropriate, developmentally appropriate curriculum throughout the day.  Whether your child is a young infant or is preparing to enter kindergarten, the Y provides a safe place for your child to develop social skills and support their cognitive, social-emotional, and physical development.

The Whatcom Family YMCA's state-licensed, non-profit child development centers are here for our community. Parents and caregivers are critical in the development of their child, which is why we strive to create partnerships with each family to provide a cohesive, safe, and supportive environment. We understand that each child is unique, and our hands-on opportunities are tailored to encourage:

• a positive self-image.
• independent thinking and decision-making skills.
• imagination.
• a familiarity with the natural world using all five senses.
• positive social relationships.
• an understanding of diversity.
