| History |
| YMCAs are the nation’s largest not-for-profit community service organization providing child care for 9 million children each year. |
| |
| In 2004, the Family YMCA expanded child care programming by establishing its Early Childhood Development Center (ECDC). The ECDC, licensed by the Department of Welfare, delivers quality, affordable programming to accommodate full day child care for children six weeks through five years of age and a full day Kindergarten program licensed by the Department of Education. |
| |
| In Fall of 2006, ECDC moved to a new, larger location in Forks Township with a licensing capacity for 154 children. The new facility has an increased capacity to serve more infants, toddlers and preschoolers. The new center features eight (8) classrooms, an indoor gross motor room, classroom bathrooms, fenced in playground/pavilion area and a separate toddler playground. |
