About
Osceola YMCA Learning Center – Early Learning & Before/After School Programs offers homework support, STEAM projects, arts and crafts, literacy activities, hands-on experiments, organized sports activities, and free play sessions. Children have access to classrooms with age-appropriate resources and learning materials, an indoor gym, and spacious outdoor fields, with activities based on a play-based learning philosophy that includes hands-on activities, interactive games, and creative exploration. The program uses the Frog Street Curriculum and Conscious Discipline, and it includes Voluntary Pre-K (VPK) and wrap-around VPK care before and/or after VPK operating hours, as well as before and after school care with academic support and recreational activities.
• Ages: 2–12 years old
• Schedule: 10 hours of care available from 7:00 AM – 6:00 PM; VPK is a 540-hour program
The Learning Center has been offering high-quality, affordable early education programs for more than a decade and focuses on early learning and childcare programs that support brain development, early literacy, and healthy habits. The program’s primary care for preschoolers and school-aged children is centered around YMCA core values, with an outstanding curriculum that focuses on character development and building relationships, and it is described as much more than a daycare, with healthy beginnings, positive interactions with caring adults, age-appropriate learning activities, and time for fun and making friends. Staff meet all DCF licensing standards and requirements, class sizes follow DCF regulations, and the program maintains low teacher/student ratios in a safe, wholesome environment with an inclusive and welcoming learning setting that celebrates diversity and promotes inclusivity. The VPK program emphasizes kindergarten readiness and prepares children for school by enhancing pre-reading, pre-math, language, and social skills, while the broader program focuses on academic readiness, social readiness, independence, communication skills, and partnership with parents. Part-time and full-time care options are available to meet the needs of working families, 4C School Readiness is accepted, Spanish-speaking team members are on-site, families in the Before & After School programs receive priority access to sports and other programming, and electronic payments are available online.
