Building Brighter Futures
The Yolo County YMCA Early Learning Program provides high-quality, low-to-no-cost childcare and early education for children from 6 weeks to five years old. Our program ensures that children are equipped with the skills and confidence they need for a lifetime of learning, focusing on each child’s unique needs.
We take a holistic approach to early childhood education, recognizing that supporting the entire household is essential for a child’s success. Our team of dedicated teachers, parents, center directors, and specialists collaborate to ensure every child receives the individualized care and support they deserve.
Partnering with local school districts, mental health services, and community organizations, we connect families to critical resources that strengthen their overall well-being.
