With 13 Child Care Centers throughout Middlesex County, the Metuchen-Edison-Woodbridge YMCA Centers provide small, neighborhood-based programs in a safe, family-friendly environment. In these safe and nurturing environments the Centers promote the physical, emotional, social and intellectual development of every child.

The planned learning environments use and organize the classroom space, the daily routine and the social and emotional atmosphere to enhance the learning of every child enrolled in the programs. It is important that the classroom environment meets the developmental needs of the child in order to make them feel safe, comfortable and a valued member of that Center’s community.

Programs follow the practices set forth by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). We are committed to providing children a place where they can gain knowledge as well as practice newly acquired skills. Interest areas in literacy, math, science, social studies, art, and technology provide the opportunity for the staff to support children’s academic and social progress while respecting their individual growth and development.
