Did you know that our infant room follows the Frog Street Curriculum? The infants are using the puppet from Frog Street to learn through playful interactions that build, trust , language and sensory awareness. The puppet helps them engage socially, explore emotions and develop early communication skills in a fun, nurturing way. In November we will have two openings in our infant room. If you are interested in learning more about the Early Learning Center, please call Stephanie at 419-963-3415 extension 9025 or email her at sdawson@findlayymca.com.

It's that time of year again where we are looking for pumpkin donations. If you have 27 small pumpkins (one for each child to take home) and 3 big pumpkins (one for each classroom to explore), we would love to take them off your hands. Please email sdawson@findlayymca.com if you can help us out. Thank you for supporting our center!

These sweet toddlers worked together to make music on the keyboard play-mat.

Activities like this build cooperation, creativity, and rhythm while helping little ones learn the joy of making music together.
